Michael Moore's latest documentary, "Fahrenheit 9-11," has been getting great reviews at the film festival in Cannes. If the film is allowed to be distributed, close scrutiny of the administation's actions before, during, and following the attacks will become permanent front page news. And the last thing the Bushies want is people to know what he did and what he didn't do in the months leading up to the terrorist attacks.

"Here's how it opens: 'The screen goes dark. The sound is of planes crashing into the Twin Towers before the grief of the victims is contrasted with Bush sitting, apparently impassively, in a Florida schoolroom for nine minutes after the news was broken to him.'"

"One theme of the movie is the connections between Bush, his family and associates and Saudi Arabia. Moore says he believes the film will 'get attention for showing that a name excised from one of Mr. Bush's National Guard records was that of an investment counselor for one of Osama bin Laden's brothers, Salem.'"
