Yes, Farenheit 9/11 contains many facts. Every clever propagandist uses as many facts as he can find to bolster his story. You'd do better to look at the facts that Moore finds it more convenent to omit. For example, 142 Saudis, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, were allowed to leave the country after September 13. Confirmed, Commission Report at p. 556, n. 25 [Note that Fahrenheit 9/11 understates the number of Saudis who left. Somebody has accepted responsiblity for that decision. That somebody says the FBI okayed it. That somebody appears in Farenheit 9/11, but only as a critic of the Bush administration, his part in flying the bin Ladens out of the country has been curiously omitted. Do you know who this somebody is?

>>After Bush was informed of the first plane hitting the World Trade Center, he went ahead with his classroom event. After Bush was informed that the nation was under attack after the second plane hit, Bush stayed in the classroom for nearly seven more minutes, continuing to read with the children. Confirmed, Commission Report at pp. 35, 38-39. Actually, this item may not be true. There is no evidence that Bush was actually reading My Pet Goat. Though his lips were moving at times.
