Not quite. They had most of the line. It was "Truth, justice, and all that other good stuff". Kind of annoying personally. The moment he said it I knew it was kind of an anti-American slant. A friend of mine really hated it, to the point of "The movie sucked". Whether or not the current administration isn't doing things the right way, the line should not have been changed. Truth and justice are the American way.
Regarding V for Vendetta, I didn't really see it as pointing out things about Muslim countries. I saw it as pointing out where things were headed in America. Again, it looked like another anti-America propaganda movie to me.
Interestingly enough, if you aren't aware of when LOTR was written, it also looks like a warning for America against where we could be heading. So the current atmosphere can certainly paint a movie in the wrong perspective.
