That Powell's style has only gotten more shakey - camera frantic over the course of its two following films (with James Newton Howard doing a decent job of interpreting it for the non-Bourne spin - off).
So by large, the people who buy into santorums demagoging are infact people with a shakey grasp on both reality and science and CAN be likened to the taliban whom they share more traits with than ANY other political / social system.
