i personally think its the right thing to do. not from a PC pOV though.
peter jackson the guy who made the lotr films has been looking to make this film with alot more accuracy than the original dambuster movie. back when the original was released alot of the actual details were still top secret which have since been declassified. and since the 617 featured aussie and kiwi airmen he'd long been told stories from school about this so he's quite keen on publicising the events to its best possible audience. and if that audience wants the word nigger out to get it the best rating then so be it.
should be great though - starts shooting early next year

Plans for Jackson's $US40 million movie about the the famous assault were announced in September 2006. Jackson, who is producing the Christian Rivers-directed film, has said shooting was possible this year.
British actor and writer Stephen Fry had written the script, a remake of the 1955 film The Dam Busters, but the cast still had to be announced.
