    I'm interested in any responses to the script for 'Mena', which I understand is currently shooting in Medellin, Colombia. The spec script was purchased for $1 million last year, is directed by Doug Liman and stars Tom Cruise. The story, well-known to followers of the criminal activities of the CIA during the Iran-Contra era, features the exploits of Special Forces/CIA/DIA pilot Barry Seal, who made a fortune smuggling coke among other substances for the Company during the early '80s. Have to appreciate the irony that Liman is the son of Arthur Liman, Chief Counsel of the Senate committee that conducted the lengthy criminal investigation of Iran-Contra.

    I posted last year on the mysteriously swift disappearance of "Kill the Messenger" from theaters. The film starred Jeremy Renner, as Gary Webb, the award-winning journalist whose life was destroyed by the MSM and possibly the CIA, after he revealed the CIA-Contra coke pipeline in a series of articles for the San Jose Mercury. Anyone familar with the Barry Seal story in its entirety knows that it's far more damning of the intel community. Curious to see how the film plays this. I have a feeling that the CIA/MSM will have a more difficult time killing this messenger.
