Subject: RE: BS: Congratulation, Mr Moore
They are definitely too afraid of the truth, which is why the Bush administration and the neocon Republicans in Congress are trying to stymie the investigation into the torture of prisoners in US custody and other US war crimes in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions around the world.

The first thing the Bush administration's damage control campaign did successfully, was prevent the US media from using the words "torture" and "war crimes" to describe the photographic evidence of prisoner torture coming out of Iraq. The second thing they did was censor the majority of photographic evidence, by allowing members of Congress to see it, but not the American people.

That will be but the tip of the iceberg in the run up to the election. I wouldn't be so sure Michael Moore's film will get distributed to US movie houses prior to the US election in November. After all, it isn't just Disney that is in the back pockets of the neocon Republicans.
