September 11 references


Just wondering if anyone else picked up on the references to September
11 in this movie. The Military police carrying the stinger rockets say
terrorists might use planes now. Shortly afterwards, another cop says
has anyone seen Bin Laden. According to IMDb, this movie was released
for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival in May of 2001. That's
prior to the terrorist attacks. I'm wondering if those lines in the
movie were just eerily coincidental, or if they were added after Cannes
and after the attacks. If they were added after the attacks, that is in
very poor taste IMO. Any thoughts?

Bin Laden might have got his idea from this movie. Horrible thought. What if?
