Stone's new September 11 film opens, hailing courage
"We're saying, 'Look, go back to the day, forget about all your prejudices and look at it again,'" Stone said in an interview with Reuters.
"I think what might emerge is a re-examination of the feelings that day that were somehow transmuted into hatred and revenge and misunderstanding," he said, ticking off what he sees as September 11 fallout - "a war, debt for America, a climate of fear, a breakdown of the Constitution."

Sheehan returns to Crawford
Sheehan, her followers have returned to Crawford: "On Sunday, Sheehan, who is fasting as part of her protest, led about 50 supporters in a march to the security checkpoint outside Bush's ranch. She was turned away by officials, and White House spokesman Tony Snow said there are no plans for the president's representatives to meet with her. They did so last year.
'You know what, honestly, when you're talking about the kind of issues we've been talking about, Cindy Sheehan just has not risen to the level of staff meetings at this point,' Snow said in reference to strife in the Middle East and elsewhere.
He added, 'I would advise her to bring water, Gatorade or both.'"
