Fifty-nine Deceits in Fahrenheit 911.
Dave Kopel ^ | ? | Dave Kopel

There are many articles which have pointed out the distortions, falsehoods, and lies in the film Fahrenheit 9/11. This report compiles the Fahrenheit 9/11 deceits which have been identified by a wide variety of reviewers. In addition, I identify some inaccuracies which have not been addressed by other writers.

The report follows the approximate order in which the movie covers particular topics: the Bush family, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. This report focuses solely on factual issues, and not on aesthetic criticism of the film.

To understand the deceptions, it helps to understand Moore’s ideological position. So let us start with Moore’s belief that the September 11 attacks on the United States were insignificant.

For those of us who have been too lazy to research the myriads of lies and deceptions in Moore's "crockumentary" Fahrenheit 911, the above site is an excellent resource to use in speaking with those friends who may have bought into Moore's penchant for lying and his hate for anything and/or anyone conservative.

Enjoy.

At least you admit to being lazy. That's the first step on the road to recovery.

In the congressional interview section I had heard - sorry no hard evidence here- that one congressman had stated "no, that he would, but his son was 7; and even if he was old enough it would be his decision to make, not mine."
Supposedly Moore only showed the word no.
Apologize if I'm not correct on this.

unsure. I know he left out the part about my Congressman,
Mark Kennedy, when he said he actually did have a nephew
in Iraq.
What you're talking about may have also been part of that
ambush.
btw, Kennedy is running against Patty "I just don't have
an opinion on that yet" Wetterling.
