The US Versus John Lennon

So while checking out some trailers online, I came across this little nugget. It's a documentary on the transformation of John from a 'cute' Beatle to a powerful figure in the anti-war movement. It also covers how the US government was working on silencing him.

My favorite quote from the trailer: "Their destortion of the constitution was their greatest disloyality to this nation" (in reference to the Nixon administration)

It's made by the people who brought us 'Farenheight 9/11' so I'm already ready for the right wing push.

Why? Right Wingers never cared for Nixon. He got what he deserved.
