NEW YORK (AP) - Most have forgotten CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow's ``See It Now'' broadcasts that took on Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Not George Clooney - he even sees those '50s political battles recurring in today's America.

And in ``Good Night, and Good Luck,'' Clooney and co-screenwriter Grant Heslov offer up ways we can connect the then-vs.-now dots between communists and terrorists, McCarthy and the Bush administration, loyalty oaths and the Patriot Act.
