Terror Nation tells the story of Charlie Johnson, former Saint Smith, Iowa sports editor, now locked inside the local mental hospital for writing anti-Bush letters to the editor.
Terror Nation shows Charlie's transformation from a Reagan Republican by the patient nudging of his wife to a man willing to perhaps die for what is right, for the poor.
