Hi Bob :) Yes, that was the intent. I have no idea about the actor who appeared in both the original and remake(s). There were two remakes I believe, one in the late 70's and one in the mid-90's. When Colin mentioned the term that was the first thing that came to mind, but I didn't know it was a common term with such a specific reference behind it. Any any rate, it certainly fits the temper of the the times we are in and the Body Snatchers in general is a perfect allegory for the group-think allegiances being demanded by the so-called war on terror.

Was that the intent of the phrase. Trivia: which actor appeared in both the original & the remake of the film? Bob
