Vets Sue Michael Moore for $85 million... cbs4boston.com (CBS4) MIDDLEBORO A local veteran who lost parts of both of his arms in Iraq, is suing filmmaker Michael Moore. Sgt. Peter Damon says Moore recycled old news footage of Damon, and used it in a way that made him seem anti-war. The snip-it appears in Moore’s film "Fahrenheit 9/11." Sgt. Peter Damon, a father of two from Middleboro, strongly supports the war effort in Iraq and never agreed to appear in Moore’s movie. According to the New York Post, he is now suing for $85 million. Damon was interviewed by NBC in 2003 while being treated at Walter Reed Army Hospital. The interview was about a new painkiller being used on injured soldiers. Damon says he did not express any views on the war itself in that interview. Michael Moore used a clip from that interview in "Fahrenheit 9/11." It shows Damon lying on a gurney, saying he feels like he’s being "crushed in a vice." The scene appears in a sequence that talks about how the government is abandoning veterans. You may recall Peter Damon threw out the first pitch at Fenway Park after returning home to Middleboro. The non-profit group Homes For Our Troops also built a home for the Damon family, specially designed for Peter’s physical needs. The NY Post says the lawsuit also names NBC, Miramax, and other production companies. Message 22500238 GZ
