The Men Who Stare At Goats is a hilarious new film starring George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Ewan McGregor and Kevin Spacey. Unfortunately, the true story it's based on is no laughing matter, especially if you happen to be a de-bleated goat housed in the U.S. Army's top secret Goat Lab or a guest of our government at Guantánamo Bay or Abu Ghraib.

The screenplay for the movie is woven around cold, hard -- and quite frankly bizarre -- facts uncovered by British author, journalist and documentarian...

I met Jon Ronson at a release night for his book and found him to be one of the most interesting people I've ever met. Short, unassuming and with uncombed hair yet more than willing to stand and discuss the book, it's arguments and his reasoning. For some reason, most of the people there at the event seemed mildy frightened of him and more than a bit confused on the subject matter - Not that I minded as I ended up talking to him for quite a while!

If the film is anywhere as good as the book, and with George Clooney hopefully bringing some of that 'Burn After Reading' weirdness to an already unbelievable story, I cant wait to see it.

Great interview, thanks. I remember Jon from when he did a column in the Guardian. The film sounds great.
