Spielberg Annoys Palestinians

Mohammad Daoud, the Palestinian mastermind of the 1972 Munich Olympics atrocity in which 11 Israeli athletes died, has complained that Steven Spielberg should have consulted him about a new film ("Munich") about the event to be sure to get the story right.

I am sure that Spielberg's first thought is to make sure that the terrorists are fairly represented!

Daoud said:

"I know nothing about this film. If someone really wanted to tell the truth about what happened he should talk to the people involved, people who know the truth. Were I contacted, I would tell the truth,".

Daoud, despite planning the raid, disingenuously blames Israel and West German authorities for the deaths.
