We're dealing with a major tour-de-force piece of propaganda that just was heralded at Cannes. He's (Moore) got to grab distribution and acclaim. He doesn't need Justic Dept. scrutiny. That'll just bring down his project.
This revelation and Moore's ego don't match. There's someone in his camp dealing with guilt in a major way.
Moore could spin this but he's running scared and trying to keep a lid on it. But someone is leaking the facts and to Salon?!
The venue is the key.
I thought she was an odd person to give this to, since she's mostly gossipy stuff.
But, then, that could be park of the "drop".......thinking it would be dismissed because of what she usually writes and because it's on Salon.
(I was never very good at strategy games.....LOL)
From the article:
Word of the footage reached Salon through a source unaffiliated with Moore or his film "Fahrenheit 9/11,"
