Greengrass said of the project's contemporary relevance, "Film shouldn't be disenfranchised from the national conversation. It is never too soon for cinema to engage with events that shape our lives."[15]

clipper's remarks: "Bourne Goes to Iraq" or Loyal Army officer finds out truth and the real enemy which changes his mission against the "powers that be". Note in the clipmark from Wiki the producer intends this to be not merely entertainment but relevant commentary:

"Film shouldn't be disenfranchised from the national conversation. It is never too soon for cinema to engage with events that shape our lives.
Perhaps this is like Clooney and Damon in Syriana in that respect.

Allegedly based upon this book here., which has some real interesting "reviews" worth considering.
