Insinuations, my foot. Did you even *see* the film? Moore lays out his
case, interviews credible journalists, investigators and authors, and did
his fact-checking. If he eventually did a muckraking film on Israel's evil
occupation of Palestine, that'd be cool in my book, too. But the issue
isn't Israel's occupation of Palestine. The issue is the US occupation of
Iraq -- and whether the monstrous gang of oil pimps, war criminals, and
petro-fundamentalist loons occupying the White House get booted out in two
and a half months or not.
