Tim Robbins' "Embedded"

This from The Nation on Tim Robbins' new release, Embedded:

"In May 2003 actor-writer-director Tim Robbins gathered up his pile of newspaper clippings and notes and set out tell the story of 'our reckless neo-conservative administration's march to war, of the unmitigated failure of our press, who acted more like courtesans than journalists, and also of the tragedy that results when young men and women are asked to engage violently with strangers in a hostile land.' The play he produced, Embedded, is a ninety-minute satirical look at the real and recognizable events of our war in Iraq."

I remember reading about this play quite a bit when it first came out, and was interested in seeing it then. Well, now that it is available on DVD, I can.
