One of the criticism I have heard about the film is the clips of dead Iraqi children being immediately followed by scenes of American soldiers high fiving each other and discussing rock music. The two are not connected in anyway - but the film leaves an impression that the soldiers are celebrating the death of the children.

Is it lying? No. Is it cycnical manipulation? Yes.

You really should actually "SEE" the movie before you attempt to critique it, particularly in a FACT thread.
