#1 the most-watched Turkish film ever, depicts U.S. soldiers in Iraq as brutish and shows a Jewish doctor harvesting Iraqis' organs for sale. ``The film is absolutely magnificent,'' Turkey's parliamentary speaker, Bulent Arinc, said after watching it, according to the London-based Times newspaper.

My thanks to Hollywoodistan for providing willing "American" actors.

Well, dumb actors at least. The evil American officer is played by Billy Zane, famous for being evil dude on Titanic. The doctor who harvests the organs of iraqis for sale is Gary Busey, whose career has nose dived since the Buddy Holly movie. At the best, they're B-list actors in B-list movies. Most likely they'll do any part if the check clears. I'll bet they had no idea that Turkish audiences would think it was a true-to-life story.
