Here's an editorial I wrote that was printed in my local newspaper, in response to a woman in town pleading with people to see Moore's ("important") film.

I read with interest XXXXX XXXXXXXXX's plea for everyone to watch Mike Moore's propaganda film, "Fahrenheit 911." ("That Movie' should be a must-see for everyone.") Perhaps Ms. Sheridan is vying for a position as an editorial page writer for the New York Times? Nowhere else has Mr. Moore's op-ed hit piece been taken quite so seriously, except maybe in France. I will point out just a few of the myriad lies or distortions laid out in Moore's movie.

The now-famous film clip of President Bush making a comment about terrorism, while golfing, is completely misleading and taken out of context. The viewer is left with the impression Mr. Bush is talking about al-Qaida terrorists. A check of the entire tape, however, reveals the truth that Moore left on the cutting room floor. The president was talking about an all-too-common suicide bombing in Israel.

Moore claims in his movie that President Bush arranged special flights to get the bin Laden family out of America following 911. The truth is, former terrorism czar and Bush critic Richard Clarke admits the decision was his and his alone, and the 9/11 Commission report supports his claim. You could look it up.

Moore also claims the only reason the United States invaded Afghanistan was to build a pipeline. Trouble is, the pipeline has not been built, and there are no plans for one.

For a variety of reviews and information on Moore's film, go to centigrade911.com. Here's a Michael Moore quote, from April of this year, to keep in mind if you do go to see his film: "The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "the enemy." They are the revolution, the minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win."

"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "the enemy." They are the revolution, the minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win."

Michael Moore should no longer be able to use the claim that he is exercising "free speech." He is indeed falsely yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. He actions are at the least libelous and at the worse treasonous. If president Bush is reelected, I hope there is a reconing.
