Phoenix - you are going to have to do better than that - there were relatives of the hijackers that were being arrested simply because they were relatives. The Bin Ladins, on the other hand, who might have had knowledge of Osama's whereabouts were allowed to leave the country without even any questioning - sure sounds fishy to me.

Atrocities - It's common knowledge. Also - Clinton is no longer President don't know why you keep bringing him up. If anything I would compare Bush to Nixon but I won't go there.

It's not common knowledge. I never heard that before.

actually it is common knowledge. There has been news reports on this over the Last few years.

Well I thought it was common knowledge. Maybe it is not.

The family left on Sept 12th and 13th. From cities in the USA and flew to Boston. 1 week later they left the country. The Saudie Govn't asked for help on this. The FBI and the American Govn't agreed.
Just because your related does not mean your involved.

So a half truth. Used by Moore to further his train of thought in the movie.

P.S. his family 'disowned' Bin Ladin publically many years before.

freduk, I put to you that the majority of people in your nation are just as stupid as the majority of people in the US. The majority of ALL human beings are idiots. It does not matter what nation they live in. Propaganda is used effectively by leaders of all nations, not just those of the US.

Expecting truths from Micheal Moore is more insane than expecting truths from Bush...

Fyron.... Freduk was having some fun. Leave it at that.

That wasn't the remark I was referring to.

It was: "But it could have some impact on the avarage American, as retardation seems to be the standard there, believing everything GW Bush and CNN proclaim." No

or similar.

I guess I should have also noted that freduk needs to get his agitprop correct: the people who don't believe Bush is the ultimate evil are supposed to be blind followers of FoxNews and not CNN. Or is it Drudge?
