The movie was great and all should see it. Also I would recommend "Sicko". But you can't equate the FBI with the Patriot Act. If you are going to blame someone for the problems with the Patriot ACT blame Bush and his administration. They were behind the law, not the FBI. For the most part the FBI is very good.

As a civil Libertarian, I despise the loss of our civil rights, and I fear for the future of our country. If it can casually dismiss all upon which it was founded, what hope does a country have for continuing a basis of relatively sane government. I do not say the pledge of allegiance because I do not believe that we are granted "liberty and justice" if we are not able to purchase it. By the same token, I do not sing the national anthem because I no longer feel that this is the land of the free.
When I think of the FBI, I am fairly ambivalent. In general, I hold them in higher esteem than cops (and that is not saying much) because I feel that they really do have legitimate work to do and are not just meddling with people to justify the collective existence of the FBI. They have caught pedophiles and people who sell drugs to children, so they do have some value.

Why fear the FBI , if you have not did anything wrong. Patriot Act, as you claim it to be is wrong. I would not go next door to see a piece of crap movie made by the baboon Michael Moore, he is very sick between the ears. Why would you request teachers to go to this website, other than to tell them to brainwash their students into thinking this pig is right. Anyone with any sense at all, knows this movie is a bunch of made up bs.

The F.B.I. and C.I.A. and the other 149 secret Agencies, which we don't even know about, cost the tax payer enormous amounts of money, getting us very little in return. They need to be destroyed and rebuild. The inefficiency and internal competitions are idiotic and destructive. An example, the Detroit Police, one of the most corrupt inner city police departments in the states, are under investigation since 12 years by the F.B.I. - Nothing, nada, Zilch, Zero a couple guys retired early. the criminal stuff the police did and does in Detroit is unbelivable, but, nothing.

Teachers should never teach propaganda. The only thing we have to fear is the FBI and CIA being castrated so that they cannot get the information to prevent another 9/11.

I've heard about it. I'm not scared, in so many words. But I'm not on board with the idea. I'm not a fan of them or the CIA. America's supposed to be for democracy and all that rainbow and gummy bears and sunshine crap, there's people listening and watching, we just don't know it, or are to dumb to accept it

I am very respectful of the FBI and all they do for us. Thank God we have something like the Patriot Act to keep our nation safe, and I haven't noticed any loss of basic civil rights.
Yes, I forced myself to see the Propaganda film...that's just what is was.

First off, the Patriot Act does not take away your basic civil rights.
Secondly, Fahrenheit 9/11 was a worthless movie that was full of lies. Michael Moore simply cut and pasted scenes together and showed everything completely out of context. (Like when that freak anti-Semite radio guy, whatever his name is, made a DVD and showed only Rod Parsley saying "Israel must be wiped off the map," when actually he was quoting Ahmadinejad.)
Stop making up lies. It's so old.

Civil rights must not be sacrificed in order to solve terrorism. The government must think of other ways to stop violence.
