Anybody else see "The True Story of Charlie Wilson" on the History Channel last night?

If not, you should watch it when it comes on again. I only saw parts of it, but it was absolutely shocking to me, and I don't exactly get shocked all that easily. There were plenty of first person accounts of illegal and shady behavior regarding the arming of the Mujahideen against the soviets in the early eighties. To me, it summed up many things that are wrong in Washington.
