MAY 10--Director Michael Moore is being investigated by the Treasury Department for traveling to Cuba in violation of a U.S. trade embargo. In a May 2 letter, the Office of Foreign Assets Control informed Moore that he was the subject of a civil investigation stemming from the filmmaker's March trip to Cuba. Moore reportedly traveled there with 9/11 rescue workers who were seeking medical care. The trip was filmed as part of Moore's documentary "Sicko," which examines the U.S. health care industry (and premieres at the Cannes film festival on May 19). In the letter to Moore, a copy of which you'll find below, a Treasury official noted that the department had no record of Moore obtaining a license that authorized him to "engage in travel-related transactions involving Cuba."

I barely got by the title...disgusting to think about!
That title lent horrible images to my mind’s eye.
He’ll just say it was for research, like Pete Townsend, yada, yada, yada...
Nothing like stirring up the press RIGHT BEFORE HIS MOVIE COMES OUT!
I would like to have control of an investigation of that fat piece of crap. I want to know more about his connections to Nick Berg.
Forget about the official letter, Moore is a pig that shoulda been put on a spit and roasted a long time ago.
However, regular citizens are prosecuted and fined for this stuff all the time. Documenting it by taking six people, plus a film crew and staff should warrant a, ummm, heavy penalty on Mr. Mike.
All this does is provide millions in free publicity for his movie and rally ‘roud libs to the cause of their hero.
Yes, I immediately thought of ALIENS (not illegal, the kind from outer space, well, I guess they are illegal too if they don’t have visas, but that’s for another post...) probing Michael Moore, and I almost lost my breakfast! Not that just thinking about Michael Moore does that *anyway*... ;-)

EWWWWW!!
hmmm, me thinks he wants the publicity...
I wonder what happens if he does nothing by June 4? I bet nothing.
Precisely what he was hoping for.
This is his PR campaign to win the big award at Cannes...... the scumbag violates US laws, makes a fuss that he is being “investigated” over it, and now he will once again be the darling of the hate-America crowd at Cannes.
not a good idea. you are making the guy a martyr in the cult of liberalism. this is exactly what the creep wants.
Michael Moore definitely deserves "The Big Can Award".
“If you have any questions call Mr. Dickie at....”
He sounds like just the guy to do the ‘probe’.
There were laws against sending big disgusting pieces of crap to Cuba?
