Charlie Wilsons War

After watching the movie Charlie Wilsons War with Tom Hanks, I really sat back and thought about the movie and what was happening in the movie.  I thought that Tom Hanks did play a great role in the film but what I don't think was realistic was how outlandish and crazy he was.  Im not saying it was fake or false information but in this day and age a United States Senator would not be able to get away with all of those acts and violations and not have it surface somewhere either on the Internet or on the TV.  Now a days with the camera phones and all of the little technological gadgets we have, someone would find the way to spill the dirt on Charlie Wilson if he was out partying and doing drugs.  I do think though that maybe with our technology the government could hide and maybe block these images or stories from getting out, but i do think it would be extremely hard.  I just think that now with all of the technology it would be extremely hard to hide things from the public and basically to do whatever you wanted without anyone finding out.  If you are a person in power or a celeberty then it is very hard to keep yourself out of the public eye, especially with the technology we have.
