ANKARA--'They might ban you from re-entering the United States,' Tayyip Erdogan says with a smile. I've just told him I've been to see the anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian Turkish blockbuster 'Valley of the Wolves--Iraq.' And the Turkish prime minister deflects my follow-up about whether he's seen it as well. 'What did you think of the movie?' he says, turning interviewer himself. To which I reply that it made me sad. While there are many things one might criticize about U.S. policy in Iraq--and I do go out of my way to concede this point--the suggestion that U.S. troops are murdering and dismembering Iraqis to facilitate a Jewish organ-selling scheme isn't one of them."
