Bush intel?

This film has been so effective, it continues to resonate. You have to give Moore credit for having the guts to take on substantial targets: General Motors, Gun Lobby, GOP/Bush. His next project was recently announced as "Sicko" to focus in on the American healthcare industry's treatment of mental patients. That I'll look forward to seeing. Your condolences for those who need Hollywood to filter their facts is misplaced as it applies to Fahrenheit 9/11. It provided *new* facts: information and footage which would not have been seen or discussed on national television networks prior to this documentary film. Sliight adendum: "American networks." Most the items that Michael Moore included in his film made news at one time or another in the Canadian media, some as regular news items and some as investigative journalism pieces. Add www.cbc.ca to your outside o' US, alternate news sources, along with http://www.guardian.co.uk/, www.globeandmail.com and http://www.lemonde.fr/ (Le Monde, major Paris french language daily). I went to see it opening night - nothing new there, just all nicely gathered in one neat little package. I really liked both the Democrats Abroad and Republicans Abroad being out in force. Nothing is forcing us to agree with Michael Moore's point of view. Nope. I cheerfully regard him as a court jester figure, who does an execellent job of saying that the emperor's new suit is really his birthday suit. Go, Michael, go!
