New Statesman - Michael Moore gives much more (Q&A Interview)

New Statesman - Michael Moore gives much more: "Cinema - The American film critic Gavin Smith interviews the man who hopes to change the US with his caustic look at the Bush administration, Fahrenheit 9/11

At what moment did you realise you had to make this film?

Eight weeks after 11 September, I was reading an article in the New Yorker, and buried in the article was a paragraph that essentially said that approximately two dozen members of the Bin Laden family and their associates living in the US were picked up by the FBI and very quickly flown out of the country. I read it and reread it, and I was just amazed - not knowing at the time that there was any kind of relationship between the Bin Ladens, the Saudi royals and the Bushes. It was just the mystery of that."
