Just saw it and really enjoyed it. Thought it showed the Iraqi "man in the street" concerns pretty well. Lots of confusion and tension--and then the quest for truth. If you want to see just how polarizing this film is, read some of the comments about it on IMDB. It's amazing what people read into things. I didn't think it was anti-American, I thought it was anti-bureaucratic myopia. Scary the public reaction sometimes.
