Newsday.com : Families push 9/11 movie

Newsday.com - New York City News: "President Bush and everyone in Washington should screen Michael Moore's controversial anti-Bush film 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' a group of military and 9/11 families said Wednesday.

'What we want to say is how important Michael Moore's movie is ... in bringing back the ability to have a dialogue' about the issues surrounding the war,' said Nancy Lessin of the group Military Families Speak Out, whose stepson is a Marine.

'What we're trying to do here is to tell the administration ... not only see it but then come out ... and explain why this happened, why we went to Iraq and why 9/11 happened,' said Ivan Medina, a former Marine from Middletown, N.Y., who served in Iraq and whose twin brother Irving was killed there."
