The history behind Munich, Lost Budgie, and others
The History Behind Munich: Separating truth from fiction in Spielberg's movie at Slate:

Spielberg, in inventing a story about violence begetting violence "inspired by real events" is raising questions worth asking. Even so, Israel's response to Munich was not a simple revenge operation carried out by angst-ridden Israelis. Both the larger context, and the facts on the ground, rarely get in Spielberg's way. A rigorous factual accounting may not be the point of Munich, which Spielberg has characterized as a "prayer for peace." But as result, Munich has less to do with history and the grim aftermath of the Munich Massacre than some might wish.

Kesher Talk has a series of posts examining the Munich Massacre and "Munich" the movie:

Munich remembered: The PLO and the Germans and the French
Munich remembered: The Athletes
Munich remembered: The Olympics
Munich remembered: The Protagonists Speak
Munich remembered: First they came . . .
Munich remembered: the British Arabists
Munich remembered, the movie: "Inspired by Real Events"

That was then. This is now: Lost Budgie posts on Tariq Ramadan:

Killing 8-year-old Jewish children is "contextually explicable" according to Tariq Ramadan, a featured speaker at the "Reviving The Islamic Spirit" convention being held at the National Trade Centre in Toronto Canada from December 23 to 25, 2005.
