Daily Record in Morris County, NJ:

To the Editor:

There are a few points Kathi9e Wright ("Moore a True Patriot") needs to keep in mind when she publishes her next movie review.

First, the movie she saw is a compilation of news clips assembled in a certain way. It's a production technique used to trick the viewer. This is far from a documentary (see Jacques Cousteau).

Second, Moore makes films for one reason: profit. That helps Moore, not America. It's not as if any of his stuff is on Channel 13 or in the National Geographic.

Now that the 9/11 Commission Report is out, Moore is debunked. He asserts, for example, that the 2001 Afghan War was about the Bush administration's desire to build an oil pipeline. We now know this notion had its roots in Clinton-era diplomatic initiative and there was never much chance of it actually being built. He also implies that Saudi officials flew out of the U.S. while our airspace was closed down to avoid questioning by the FBI. The commission found each item of this indictment to be false. The Commission also found th at the Clinton Administration received all types of red flags since the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993, but took no action.

Do you think if I put a few clips of Clinton hugging Lewinsky and Sandy Berger playing golf with Richard Clarke in front of new footage of people running out of the World Trade Cente in 1993, I could get $22 from people willing to believe the story?

2. Ah, The Good Old "Daily Record"

I read that rag growing up in Morris Township. It was even worse when the Tomlinson family owned it - it was pure RepubliKKKan slant all the way. Then they sold the paper and the new editors endorsed Bill Clinton in 1992 - I thought that an angry mob was gonna burn their building in Parsippany.....

3. I dunno...

...I'm reading the report right now, and it doesn't sound to me like "the Clinton Administration received all types of red flags since the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993, but took no action." Lots of stuff was going on...

4. are republicans stupid and ignorant

What is this guy on, sure Moore is in the movie business to make money, isnt that why Cheney and Bush were in the oil business

But Moore gives a lot to charity, I dont see Bush or Cheney doing that.

And it was a natural gas pipeline, not oil

Clintons red flags? Sept 11th happened on Bush's watch, he was the President, he was the supposed leader, he was the commander in theif.
and yet he did nothing.

Try again Joseph Daily, this time research it and tell the truth and not spin

5. Hmmm, the guy obviously hasn't seen the movie

Moore never implies that Saudi officials left to avoid questioning while airspace was still closed. He rightly states that they flew around the country while most flights were still grounded and that they were given only a cursory look when they DID leave the country after flights resumed.

Funny how much these people like to lie about Moore isn't it?
