The real Charlie. With the movie Charlie Wilson's War (trailer) opening this weekend, you might to know about the real Charlie Wilson, coutresy of the Washington Post.

The movie is pretty accurate, as movies go. The problem is that director Mike Nichols had to leave out so much good stuff. If truth be told, the life of "Good Time Charlie" Wilson is way too wild and crazy to be captured in any movie shorter than the "Godfather" trilogy.

A USA Today story quotes him as saying, "I think they made me a little better than I am."
