Preview of Angelina Jolie 60 Minutes interview:

Apparently Ms. Jolie leaned rather heavily on someone's book about the war time in BiH.

Comments:
Dobbs doesn't seem to realise how unfocused his writing was and how adding up the other stuff he was sloppy about justified the criticism.

I can't face ploughing through the interview - can you say which the book AJ leant on for Land of B&H is?
 
The teaser for the article had it, but I could not find it in the story. I find Ms. Jolie annoying. I am not sure I want to see the movie. The trailer makes it look like war porn.
