* The U.S. government should never fund a documentary whose obvious intent is to glorify a religion and proselytize for it. Doing so flies in the face of American tradition and law. On behalf of taxpayers, a public-interest law firm should bring suit against the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, both to address this week's travesty and to win an injunction against any possible repetitions.


This is the most important violation. I don't mind the thing being made, or even the fact that it is fatally flawed. I do mind that the government helped pay for and distribute it.
