I haven't seen American Sniper, but I heard that Chris Kyle is the guy who got sued by Jesse Ventura for libel, and Ventura won, which means he had a pretty strong case to actually win a libel suit. If Kyle lied about Ventura to promote his book, doesn't that call into question the veracity of the book itself?
I mean, I'm still going to see the movie because its success seems to be really annoying the left, but the libel suit takes a little of the polish off for me.
