Defence hot and bothered over Fahrenheit 9/11 - National - www.smh.com.au: "The Australian Defence Force stands accused of censorship after it banned the showing of the inflammatory anti-war blockbuster Fahrenheit 9/11 on military bases, despite requests direct to the distributor from serving personnel.
The film's distributor, Hopscotch, confirmed yesterday that a soldier had approached it for a copy of Michael Moore's film to show at a military base cinema.
Hopscotch offered it free and the immediate superiors of the soldier - who worked at the cinema - approved the showing.
But the request was rejected last Wednesday by Defence headquarters in Canberra, which has since banned the film at all bases."
