Correction: Watch the movie with subtitles, he does call her Jan.

Corrected entry: The film claims that Saudi Arabia is the largest oil supplier to the U.S. That is false. The largest percentage of oil imported into the U.S. comes from Canada.

Correction: Prior to 2001 Canada was not the largest crude oil supplier, Saudi Arabia was. Since that time, Canada has surpassed Saudi Arabia in exports to the US. However, the US exports back to Canada almost the same amount of oil for refining and other purposes. Therefore, while Canada does have the largest percentage export of crude oil to the US, it is not the largest *net* exporter to the US. In volume of oil imported to the US, Saudi Arabia is behind Canada and Mexico, but this doesn't take into account the crude shipped into Canada and Mexico for further refining, so with that logic, Saudi Arabia is the largest *net* exporter to the US.

Continuity mistake: When Jeremy Pivens interacts with the FBI investigators, after the 'wrong' suspected terrorists are killed, he starts to pick up an AK-47 leaning against the wall and its barrel is pointed 'up'. He is told not to and in the next shot is putting it back, but the barrel is now pointing 'down'. Not to mention the continuity flaw in the distance he appears to have moved in a millisecond.

Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: I'm forty-two years old. I have two daughters and a son. Beautiful son. And I find myself in a place where I no longer care about why we are attacked. I only care that one hundred people woke up a few mornings ago, and had no idea it was their last. When we catch the man who murdered these people, I don't care to ask even one question. I want to kill him. Do you understand?
Ronald Fleury: Yes, I do.

Trivia: Throughout the movie, they refer to the terrorist bomb-maker by the name of Abu Hamza.
