Does 'Fair Game' follow history's script for Plamegate?

<snip>

Liman says he relied on court transcripts and interviews for scenes about the machinations of Plamegate. "The scenes can't be disputed because they're taken directly from court transcripts," he says. "This isn't an Oliver Stone treatment, where we've made an educated guess as to what might have happened and portrayed it as fact. One of the (real) people in each scene told me about the events in the scene."

...

Libby may feel different, because he is shown harassing analysts who wouldn't go along with the administration's position that Iraq was trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction. No WMDs were found in Iraq after the 2003 invasion.

...

Liman says he showed the movie to Libby's appellate lawyer, asked him if there was anything factually incorrect and got no response. Neither Libby nor his lawyers would comment about Fair Game.

"It's an accurate representation of that time, of how it played out and the tensions in (our) relationship," says Plame. "(But) there are theatrical devices; it's not a documentary film."

5. Scooter's back, comfortably ensconced in the protective arms of his class

He'll bide his time, and return to government in a future Republican administration, ready to perpetrate or abet even more crimes. He doesn't have to worry about some Hollywood production. He's safe from any repercussions for his past crimes, and free to plot more whilst sucking up more money. And if he feels that he needs to visit some retribution on Liman, it will keep until Libby's in a position to really stick it to Liman.
