OUTTAKES FROM THE INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL MOORE IN FILM COMMENT MAGAZINE

Film Comment: "We had a situation where we were going to go over to Iraq because we got a letter from one of the soldiers who told us they weren't being given flak jackets. The Army was getting them, but the National Guard wasn't getting them. So, we thought, let's go over and take some flak jackets. So we bought a bunch of them and we e-mailed the soldier back and told him we were coming over. And he tells the other guys in his unit, 'Michael Moore is coming with flak jackets.' Word gets to his Commanding Officer that I'm coming. Within three days, they had their flak jackets from the Army. And he wrote his wife and she went on NPR and told the story about how just the threat of Michael Moore coming over was enough to get all these guys their flak jackets. We didn't even have to go over there. "
