I heart Maggie

I've always had a thang for Maggie Gyllenhall and now shes gone and sealed it but questioning her governments roll in 9/11. Of course this has caused a backlash in the good olde US of A. How dare she speak her mind and question Bushie!

Here is what she said in response to questions about her movie, The Great New Wonderful which deals with the aftermath of 9/11:

"Because I think America has done reprehensible things and is responsible in some way and so I think the delicacy with which it's dealt allows that to sort of creep in"

Her reply to those who think a young, intelligent woman shouldn't be voicing her opinion was as follows:

" 9/11 was a terrible tragedy and of course it goes without saying that I grieve along with every American for everyone who suffered and everyone who died in the catastrophe. But for those of us who were spared, it was also an occasion to be brave enough to ask some serious questions about America's role in the world. Because it is always useful, as individuals or nations to ask how we may have knowingly or unknowingly contributed to this conflict. Not to have the courage to ask these questions of ourselves is to betray the victims of 9/11."

MAGGIE RULES!!
