Re: The Kingdom
woodman, i just watched the movie today and you're right. i have no idea what that reviewer was thinking when he wrote that outrageous line. in fact, as you'll recall, that last scene where both "sides" ask what was whispered demonstrates that each "side" has their own perspective on tragic events.
a very small criticism was the character played by garner. altho things could work out that way in real life, i'd guess that they'd try to assemble an all male team just to keep things as uncomplicated as possible.
oh, one last thing: do you recall the first 5 minutes of the film? i thought whoever put that together was brilliant. it looked like something an expert flash designer put together to give a quick overview of the recent history between saudi arabia and the u.s. when the dvd comes out, i'll grab that little segment to watch again and again. very well done.

I've been to that part of the world years ago when radical Islam was not as "vocal" in local communities, and the movie actually paints a milder portait of that culture.
Islamic radicals are sweeping over Africa and Asia.
Here is what they are doing, now:

...and our leadership in the US is clueless about how to stop them.

The Kingdom
Good drama and an interesting storyline that doesn't attempt to get too preachy.
