Letter: See the film before writing

It is very amusing to read letters condemning Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" by people who have not seen the film, but are using movie reviews to make their argument.

As one who has seen this bombshell of a documentary, I can say with credible voice that the video clips of George W. Bush are real, untouched and stunning. One of the clips closely personifies Bush's bias for the very wealthy when he addresses a black-tie event by saying "my haves, and have more's."

The actual clip showing Bush reading to some kids when he is told about the 9/11 attack will show the world his delayed reaction.

Letter writers who have not seen this great documentary, but who offer criticism, have no credibility.
