Wait, there's more!

I just remembered: Parts of the story of the aforementioned movie take place in Guantanamo! (Pre-9/11, obviously.) Am I the only one absolutely baffled by the thin layer of irony that connects a fiction film loosely based on a real event and real characters with a political reality that increasingly seems to be written by a terrible screenwriter, rejected, rewritten by an ignorant studio exec, and finally pushed back for a direct-to-video B-movie release?
