I don't think the "based on a true story" is pointing to a lack of imagination - that would be the endless remakes. "True story" tends to lend itself well to political statements and inspirational-type movies. The fact that this movie came out right before the elections is no accident.
Relating to the original post:
I saw a news clip of Dick Cheney today where he told a crowd, "This war is just."
