"to make a respected man look bad and clumsy." You want a man you respect to be shown as respected- but other people might not respect him at all (many other people might feel that way) and they might think Moore's portrayal is spot on. If there is objective "truth" it's somewhere in the middle where no one is ever going to find it- can you see how that might be so? I'm not insulting you. I can understand that you might respect someone that I find to be a very bad man. But can you take in the relative shifts in perceptions? They go very very deep- they produce diametrically opposed perceptions- to try to say some POV is "truthful" when it concerns a matter of opinion, is...just the wrong tack to take. It's like saying that liking chocolate ice cream is wrong (or making chocolate ice cream out to be disgusting is wrong). Someone might have the POV that Bush is a moron, someone else might say he is a genius- the POV's are like the taste for ice cream, difficult to say one is right and one is wrong- it depends what your taste buds are set up for, and you are a prisoner of those buds.

How was he dishonest with Heston? It was all Heston's words. Moore just sat there asking a few questions. for once, Heston revealed his true feelings. No hype.

"He is simply not trustworthy" I don't think Moore's message is that you should trust him. Rather, he is saying don't trust anyone ... demand to know the facts before making a decision. If the American people had done that, we would not now be in Iraq.

Good Afternoon Jeff: I'm sure you realize that you are wasting your time with the Crap Minister (rearrange the letters in American Spirit) By the way, In BFC, Moore claimed he got the title from a bowling class the boys attended the morning of the shooting. Guess what? They skipped the class that morning, but since it didn't fit his agenda or story, he just lied and said they went to a bowling class right before they began shooting. Small point? Yes. Moore big fat liar? Absolutely. Regards.
