BBC NEWS: Moore film fires up America

BBC NEWS: Moore film fires up America: "Ivan Medina fought back tears during a recent screening of Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.
A former marine who fought in the first wave of the war in Iraq, he lost his twin brother in an ambush on the streets of Baghdad.

Millions of Americans have been to see Moore's film
The documentary, which raises questions about the decision to invade Iraq, has fired up Mr Medina's anger towards the Bush administration.
'This film portrays the truth,' he says.
'It asks the hard questions that need to be asked. Why did we go to Iraq? Why did we forget al-Qaeda? Why did we forget Osama Bin Laden?
'They haven't clarified why we went to Iraq; they haven't given us the reasons. They hid and hid.'
The White House has already branded the film 'outrageously false'. "
