Letter: Moore’s film not a documentary
Friday, July 9, 2004 | 5:22 a.m.
WEEKEND EDITION
July 10 - 11, 2004
It's been said that one shouldn't judge "Fahrenheit 9/11" without seeing it. Well, I've never read translations of Osama bin Laden's speeches, but I still have a pretty good idea of what he's all about.
Michael Moore is an admitted liar. For instance, he confesses to staging scenes in "Bowling For Columbine." And there are plenty of credible Internet sources that delineate the many obfuscations, mistakes and outright falsehoods that permeate the movie. Note that I didn't refer to it as a documentary. The dictionary defines a documentary as "factual" and "objective." Moore is neither.
I daresay that if the war had been conducted by Bill Clinton, and no WMD were found, Moore's attitude would have been, "Oh well, better safe than sorry."
