Just maybe, since we're all decked out in tinfoil, someone has a conscience on the Moore team.

PHILADELPHIA, May 28 — The filmmaker Michael Moore interviewed Nicholas E. Berg, the American contractor beheaded in Iraq, for his latest movie and has offered to show Mr. Berg's family film of the interview, a family spokesman said Friday.
Bruce Hauser, the spokesman and the Bergs' neighbor in West Chester, Pa., said Mr. Moore had called him to confirm reports that the film interview existed.
The interview took place during the filming of "Fahrenheit 9/11," Mr. Moore's documentary on the Bush administration and Iraq, which won this year's top prize at the Cannes International Film Festival. The Berg interview was not used in the movie. Mr. Moore's office in New York confirmed it had film of the 20-minute interview but said there were no plans to release it.
"We are not releasing it to the media," read a statement from Mr. Moore's office. "It is not in the film. We are dealing privately with the family." Mr. Moore was not available for comment.
Bruce Hauser, the spokesman and the Bergs' neighbor in West Chester, Pa., said Mr. Moore had called him to confirm reports that the film interview existed.
Confusing writing on reuter's part, IMO. It reads that Moore called Bruce Hauser first. Of course that may be the truth, who knows with the way this story is going.
