Michael Moore To Defend Ground Zero Workers

snip//

Earlier this month, the U.S. Treasury Department's Office Of Foreign Assets Control started an investigation into Moore's Cuba trip, which appears in his new film Sicko exposing the flaws of the U.S. healthcare system.

Following the film's world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last weekend, Moore insists he will protect the Ground Zero workers in the movie after recent press revelations they will also be under investigation by the Treasury Department.

Moore says, "The New York Post reported Sunday that the Bush administration, in addition to going after me for filming scenes in or near Cuba, may now go after the 9/11 rescue workers I took with me to get the medical care they were denied by our own government.

"I couldn't make up irony like this if I wanted to, and I will do whatever is necessary to defend the human right of these true American heroes to receive the medical attention they deserve."

1. Maybe Baker & his law firm can go after them - as they are already defending
Saudi Arabia against the 9.11 families! The lines seem pretty clearly drawn to me.

2. I'd like to pit Rudy against Bush on this one. Heh heh.
