Based on "farenheint, 9/11" a Michael Moore's docummentary, I'd like to ask you if American people know that when American Government buys weapons from United Defense "a Bin Laden family's group it is giving money to the terrorist family. It isn't my intention to offend anyone with my question, but It is a great doubt that I'd like to know the answer.

Would not surprise me as America has gone to war for the sake for going to war, as it does so, so, so often.

As far as I know there are no lies in the documentary. Even those at FoxNews that "look out for you" had never presented Michael Moore with an instance of a lie. They didn't like what he said, they didn't like how he said it, and they didn't like his timing. But not one of those jokers from BOR to Sean Hannity ever said to Michael Moore. Well "you said this and we know it's a lie". They asked him questions like how does he feel saying this in a time of war. They viewed it as one sided etc. Suggested there was something about telling the truth that he should be ashamed of. But not one of those half wits came up with an instance where he lied. And if they claimed to. They failed to take it up with him personally. So my feeling is that most everything in that movie is true. And if it isn't, no one had enough evidence to challenge him personally about it. Furthermore, there were PLENTY of allegations in that movie that were actually broadcast on Fox. I watch Fox faithfully because they are the most sketchy and biased propaganda machine on the planet and need to be watched every second. But they will show you the news, at least once and if it serves their radical right purpose they'll show it 50 times. Fox reported the story about the bin Laden family being escorted onto planes and flown out shortly after the 9/11 attack and yes no other planes were flying at that time. Fox showed the Prince of Saudi Arabia @ Ground Zero and he did indeed stand there on the site of a national tragedy and announce to us and the world that it was our own fault this happened to appease the Jihadists and supporters in his country. This man was a guest in the White House at that time and has since been invited back at least once that I'm aware. So I can only presume that this action was a-ok with our government because they didn't say dick, about it. This is also a family that was proven to fund terrorists, as reported on Fox News. Of course there's more I'm just pointing out instances where Fox (who is the media voice that most often uses language that discounts the work of Michael Moore) actually reported the same things MM has. They just didn't connect any dots for us.
So say what you will about Michael Moore. Most of what was in his movie is actually verifiable information. Such as the relationship of Bush/bin Laden family. We know they were never strangers. We know it's nearly impossible for Bush to have been unaware of this threat. Michael Moore's infraction was that he wasn't supposed to talk about it. But no one has pointed out a lie that I know of.
I think when we finally get things settled in the Mid East due to new leadership it will be a more appropriate subject to talk about. Many people will be more enthusiastic about listening to it. I think when we have friends and loved ones dying over there, even if it's true, no one wants to really accept that we're there to benefit Saudi Arabia and oil companies. I think as time goes on we will be informed properly about what has happened the last 6 years and we will be disheartened. Even now I hear people admit to things that others were called names for insinuating, when this all began. Now these stock and bond people just talk about it like it's nothing. All the info seeped out so slowly it wore people down and they just accept it. Now it's like "Yeah, Halliburton's doing a great job over there. So what?" But in 2001 if you said "Halliburton's taking over those oil refineries and the gas is so high and there really is no al Quaida in Iraq, we're on a drilling mission", everyone would have freaked out at the idea.

This was sent me by an old high school friend, until now a right-winger.
