Film Critique

 

Ethics Analysis of Fair Game:

Joe Wilson, (Sean Penn) former ambassador and husband of Valerie Plame

Issues to consider in your critique:

1. Joe Wilson, after conducting a ‘fact-finding’ mission in African on whether Niger sold uranium to Saddam’s
regime in Iraq, wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Times in July, 2003 entitled, “What I Didn’t Find in
Africa.” The piece angered the Bush administration, which presumably prompted Bush aide Karl Rove to leak Valerie
Plame’s identity to columnist Robert Novak. (Novak’s commentary can be found on BB.)
2. What ethical philosopher and/or philosophy did Wilson follow in making a decision to write and publish his
piece? Provide specific examples to support your claim.
3. Place yourself in Wilson’s position. What kinds of decisions/choices would you make if you were in the
same situation? Would you have written the piece? What ethical philosopher and/or philosophy help guide your
decisions?
