Tribnet.com - Admiration: Army specialist serving in Iraq calls it an important film 'everyone should see'
Tribnet.com - News/Local: "For U.S. Army Spc. Edward Cruz, 23, it's been midnight in America for too long now.
Cruz, a soldier on leave between deployments to Iraq, stood outside Tacoma's Grand Cinema early Friday morning, weeping. He was among the first screeners at the theater's 12:01 a.m. premiere of 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' Michael Moore's blistering indictment of President George W. Bush and the war in Iraq.
After a moment of being unable to speak, Cruz, from Bremerton, sought to explain the transformation he's had.
That transformation happened before Cruz saw 'Fahrenheit.' But the film, which he watched with fellow Spc. Andre Roberge, 21, did much to affirm both men's viewpoints about the war.
'We shouldn't be over there,' Cruz said. 'But we can't leave now. We're stuck.'"
