Michael Moore is very good at what he does, propaganda. For all the noise in the end Bush haters will love it and supporters of the Presdident won't. I recommend to anyone interested in reading an effective rebuttal to Moore's cinematic trickery Christopher Hitchen's article "Unfairenheit 9/11" available at Slate.com.
