IT'S A SPADE!
This appears to be accurate. Both Ain't It Cool News and JoBlo.com have posted James Cameron's full "Avatar" script. To triple-check I went to the 20th Century-Fox site and found that they posted the same script, as well. After being as careful as possible (wouldn't want to smear Cameron like he did the U.S. Marines. NOTE for Leftist hair-splitters: former Marines), I bring you a scene written by James Cameron that was cut from the final film but serves as a glimpse at the director's childish prejudices and mindset:
INT. ARMOR BAY - DAY
TROOPERS issue automatic weapons and magazines to a long line of mine workers. The miners lock and load like the redblooded redneck NRA supporters they are.
BLASTING TECHS are setting radio-detonated primer charges into two-ton stacks of EXPLOSIVE COMPOUND. The stacks are band-strapped together on pallets.
TRACKING WITH SELFRIDGE, staring around him in growing dismay as he walks through the full-scale mobilization. He approaches Quaritch, who is barking orders amid a hive of activity around the ampsuits.
SELFRIDGE
This thing is completely out of control!Quaritch ignores him, turning away to focus on ordnance loading.
SELFRIDGE
Listen to me! I am not authorizing you to turn the mine-workers local into a freakin' militia!
QUARITCH
I declared threat condition red. That puts all on-world assets under my command.SELFRIDGE
You think you can pull this palace coup shit on me?! I can have your ass with one call -Quaritch grabs him and PINS him against the side of an ampsuit.
QUARITCH
You're a long way from Earth.Selfridge is paralyzed. Physical force -- against him? Quaritch releases him and walks away.
Emphasis was mine...
Hmm... Looks as though those "redneck NRA" supporting miners were just as eager as the U.S. Marines (NOTE for Leftist hair-splitters: former Marines) to commit a genocide against innocents starting with a 9/11-style terrorist atrocity on the Na'Vi Home Tree which Cameron intentionally filmed to look like the attack on the World Trade Center... only this time committed by U.S. Marines (NOTE for leftist hair-splitters former Marines).
More proof that "Avatar" is anti-American? Well, maybe in Cameron's mind those bloodthirsty mineworkers are "redblooded" Frenchman or supporters of the Scottish NRA.
More proof that "Avatar" is anti-Military (NOTE for Leftist hair-splitters: anti-former Military)? Wherever would someone get that idea?
UPDATE: A statement from James Cameron -- "I regret my choice of language in the Avatar screenplay. Unfortunately, the script was locked before I could add the word teabagger." -- Okay, I made that up.
You can see the full script here. The scene above can be found on page 125.

It's always hard to criticize a show when you like a lot of it but some parts just make you wince. (Which is why I prefer to listen to Dance of the Vampires in Polish.) Cameron should've done the whole thing in some gonzo Na'vi dialect and let the audience make up its own story.
