Actually the Passionate Eye here in Canada looked into some of the things that Moore talked about but not the Moore film. There are some things important things very very correct in this movie with more resounding PROOF than what Moore put in his film. I don't know if the passionate Eye because it is more recent and has pro media types and more access and is more recent than F 9/11 but it was quite interesting.For a start analyze the images of the group who pulled down the Saddam Statue - Some uncovered footage reveals that those Iraqi's were NOT Iraqis - where the people came from in the streets - they were led by tropps - one had a 1991 Iraqi flag - naturally just carrying it around with them. That info you wonder why it's not presented by CNN. Even if people don't agree with it - it should at least be "presented." All this was a very minor point in some pretty surprising things.
Moore never presented this as a documentary - it is clearly stated that it's his view within the first 4 minutes of the movie. It's sad he gets ripped for an opinion.
Carlos Delgado a Blue Jays First Baseman from Venezuala decided to NOT stand for the 7th inning God Bless America - he stood for the American and Canadian National Anthems but simply elected not to stand for God Bless America which was not sung in Baseball games - has NOTHING whatsoever to do with baseball - the man is not American and his personal belief was it was bad to go into Iraq.
He didn't advertise this but once found out he is all over the paers as some sort of "evil-Doer" no doubt the right thinks he's a terrorist loving bleeding heart liberal. It's pretty sad that you have to join the wave of nationalistic flag wavers or be denounced as "other."
Clinton, Condoleeza Rice, and Colin Powell ALL said before 9/11 that Saddam was fully contained and NOT a threat to the United States. Interesting what a day makes. And interesting what a day makes to the bottom lines of certain companies - namely Haliburton.
