>Does it reflect poorly on Bush if the Saudis own 7% of the United States?

Sorta... Moore's point was that the Saudis get away with a lot because of it.

From a news article from 1997:
"Oil barons court Taliban in Texas"
telegraph.co.uk

Moore actually had footage of the Taliban reps in the U.S. to discuss this.

>Or if the Patriot Act was passed without being read (certainly, staffers read it)?

I'm sure a couple of people read it, but I do know that that sort of thing happens all the time; the fact that it was so important is what leaves me skeptical.

>Moore is simply a chronic, pathological liar -- with a big podium.

I can't believe everything anyone says, but most of what his movie had to say makes sense to me and is from actual footage.

>That you believe him speaks volumes about your intellect.

Thanks much.
