Why would Clint Eastwood make a film about that incident? The Atlanta bombing was so long ago in 1996. Everyone's forgotten about it by now. And they never solved it either. Why is it significant?

Yeah it is strange. Of all the atrocities the FBI has committed, this would seem to come well down the list. Maybe that's the point.

Never solved it? You think Eric Rudolph was wrongly convicted?

I never heard of Eric Rudolph. You mean the Atlanta bombing was finally solved? Did Rudolph confess to it or was he a patsy?

He pleaded guilty, got life without parole, and issued a written statement explaining his actions.
