that movie is based on mostly FACT and a little opinion - but the opinions are clearly stated as opinion and not fact! mike moore is a little creepy (in my opinion) but the movie was an eye-opener. the bush administration has OPENLY admitted that on the day after 9/11 when all flights were supposedly "restricted", they had the entire bin laden family flown out of the us. when bush was told about the plane hitting the WTC, there is a clip of his response - he just kept reading to **how convenient** little children. i'm tired of hearing how people are "so happy" that nothing else has happened since 9/11. ugh... what about the anthrax and those random ex-military men who were shooting up d.c.. don't hold your breath... the little worm still has 2 more years to do more damage. 2008 - End to an ERROR!!!!

It is mostly true. The only parts that aren't true are all the patriotic bits he throws in like "America is a great country" (actually it is about average, or below average if you only include western countries) or about how soldiers deserve our support and sympathy (they don't, they are evil killers).
Oh, and the part about not being able to fool us a second time, turned out not to be true in hindsight. Although in Moore's defence, the part about not being able to be fooled a second time was a quote from Bush.
Although the facts are accurate, I think some of the conclusions are a bit misleading, for example I think the situation with Saudi Arabia is a bit more complex than he makes out. Also he rarely shows the Iraqi side of the story when he talks about Iraq, he only shows the side of the invading US troops.
I would recommend watching a movie called "In the Shadow of the Palms" instead. It shows ordinary Iraqi people before during and after the Iraq war. But it is a hard movie to find. You may have to contact the filmmaker about it.

By far the worst 9/11 documenatary! Moore is a left wing gatekeeper who refused to go into the real issues. It is very flawed. 9/11 is an inside job and he refued to talk about it. Ppl then tend to think that it was the most radical view of 9/11 when it doesn't even talk about the controlled demolition, Norad standing down and the pentagon. Moore needs to do some research and stop giving creedence to the offiicial story. He is a gatekeeper, a classic example of one. If you want to watch a real documentary on 9/11 watch 9/11 mysteries or Loose Change, they actually talk about issues.

An editorial in the form of a documentary.
Very well done, IMHO.
Certainly there was a partisan aspect to the presentation.
But free speech has not been completely eradicated yet, & I just wondered how anemic & lackadaisical the media had been about reporting almost anything Moore brought up & alot of other issues since then as well. I thought that's what the media was for, to bring things into the public arena for discussion.
Something doesn't have to be only "true" or "not true" for it to be worth discussion & examination. People bring up different points of view - that doesn't make them enemies, it makes them citizens who were paying attention.

He took partial truths and facts and twisted them to suit his scenario. Do you really believe that if his story had any credibility CBS wouldn't be all over it. The BBC Reuters, Al Jazerra would be fighting to air it over and over. It is not true. It's kind of like Michael Moore himself. Do I believe he takes a bath or shower. Sure, so if I tell you he takes a shower, I'm telling you the truth. But the whole truth would be "not often enough" Three little words can change the meaning of something drastically

Were you hoping for an objective answer....this is a tough crowd. Rush is ok but somehow Michael Moore is intolerable....
Both fit the facts to the stories they are telling.

It may be true, but Fahrenheit 9-11 won't convince me that it is.
Ever seen Bowling for Columbine? So much sensationalist propaganda.
See how as soon as Michael Moore said, "Do you think having all these guns at a bank is a good idea?" they cut off the shot before the lady could give the most obvious answer, "What kind of suicidal moron would ever even TRY to rob us with all these guns here?"

Michale Moore lives in fantasy land Some people just like to make waves. But he's a little to big to be a Peter Pan. Star Trek looks real too. Moore's reputation proceeds him any one who has a brain considers him a buffoon.

If you are a liberal or a Michael Moore fan, then of course its true. Michael Moore's movies are always about truth, there is no entertainment value in them whatsoever.
If you are a person with common sense, then you know that while what you see actually happen, but you understand that it was taken out of context to misconstrue the public about how the President reacted.
This of course is entertainment to Michael Moore. But to others its not.

"As in the story look real and if it true , well,this world is very dangerous than you think" ???
Does even the writer himself understand this? Some people have just too many beers in them and I guess we shouldn't expect much of them.
