Pridesource.com/BTL News - 'Fahrenheit 9/11' heats up the Bush debate

Pridesource.com/BTL News - 'Fahrenheit 9/11' heats up the Bush debate: "Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/11' is tailor made for people like my best friend. For people like me who have been closely following this administration the film revealed very little I didn't already know.

What Moore does, however, is condense a smattering of evidence that the Bush Administration has been less than honest about, oh, just about everything, and that Bush is a swaggering, shoot-first-ask-questions-later, inarticulate cowboy, into 112 gripping minutes. The information may not be new, but Moore's method of delivery will get more people to pay attention in this very important election year.

'Fahrenheit 9/11' is not an easy film to watch, and not just because of the scene where Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz slathers a comb in saliva and runs it through his hair. Moore uses graphic images of injured and dead soldiers and Iraqi civilians. He reminds us that war is ugly and painful and not at all glamorous. "
