The main premise of Mr. Moore's recent work is that both Presidents Bush have been what amounts to Manchurian Candidates of the Saudi royal family. Mr. Moore suggests (he depends so much on innuendo that a simple, declarative verb like "says" is usually impossible) the Saudi government, having soured on their pawns for unstated reasons, launched the attacks of Sept. 11.<<< Scott Simon must have been paid big bucks to write this nonsense. >>>>>In what is perhaps the most wrenching scene in the film, an Iraqi woman is shown wailing amid the rubble caused by a bomb that killed members of her family. I do not doubt her account, or her sorrow. I have interviewed Iraqis about U.S. bombs that killed civilians. People who agree to wars should see the human damage bombs can do. But reporters who were taken around to see the sites of civilian deaths during the bombing of Baghdad also observed that some of those errant bombs were fired by Iraqi anti-aircraft crews. Mr. Moore doesn't let the audience know when and where this bomb was dropped, or otherwise try to identify the culprit of the tragedy<<<< I didn't know that the Iraqi could fire bombs from the ground. Or that every bomb has USA or IRAQ stamped on it. Yup, that MM sure was dishonest!

Amazing....a group of Saudis were on a plane on 9/13 in Tampa flying to Lexington, KY and then the same day out to Saudi Arabia. Who were they and who from the FBI questioned them and why were they allowed to leave the country so quickly after 9/11 when 15 of the 19 killers were Saudis. If 15 of 19 had been Iranians, North Koreans or Pakistanis for that matter and a planeload of Iranian VIPs, etc., had left on 9/13 just what kind of reaction would Scott Simon have had? Simon clearly does not like Moore and he supported this senseless invasion of Iraq and now keeps his head in the sand.
