Heinlein Pic Portends

Interesting word on one of my favorite novels...

Genre TV producer Tim Minear (Angel, Wonderfalls) told SCI FI Wire that he has been hired to write a screenplay adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein's 1966 SF novel The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. The novel deals with a 2076 rebellion on a former penal colony on the moon and has been read as an allegory about libertarianism and its costs.
It sounds promising But...

I hope that Heinlein's work is not suddenly going to be dissected for its IRQ (Iraq Relevance Quotiant)

UPDATE:
Seems like somebody has already been discussing that.
