 The lies of Michael Moore. By Christopher Hitchens
Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness.
And it was after, and not before, the 9/11 attacks that Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi moved from Afghanistan to Baghdad and began to plan his now very open and lethal design for a holy and ethnic civil war.
In a recent interview, he yelled that if the hijacked civilians of 9/11 had been fl, they would have fought back, unlike the stupid and presumably cowardly white men and women (and children).

 Fahrenheit 9/11 | Now available on DVD!!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
One of the most controversial and provocative films of the year, Fahrenheit 9/11 is Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's searing examination of the Bush administration's actions in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11.
He looks at how - and why - Bush and his inner circle avoided pursuing the Saudi connection to 9/11, despite the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis and Saudi money had funded Al Qaeda.
Fahrenheit 9/11 shows us a nation kept in constant fear by FBI alerts and lulled into accepting a piece of legislation, the USA Patriot Act, that infringes on basic civil rights.

 The New Yorker: The Critics: The Current Cinema
In “Fahrenheit 9/11,” he works his famous shtick one more time: in front of the Capitol, he stops congressmen who voted for the Iraq war and asks them if they would consider urging their sons and daughters to join the armed services.
The ideological framework of “Fahrenheit 9/11” goes roughly like this: America is not a democracy; America is an oligarchy in which the wealthy pull the strings behind a façade of manufactured democratic consent.
The Bush clan rigged the national election in 2000; still, the new Administration was failing until 9/11, an event that the President exploited to create an atmosphere of endless fear and a practice of endless warfare.

Author, filmmaker, and political activist Michael Moore has developed a trademark style of tackling major issues with a sharp sense of humor while maintaining a regular-guy attitude, an approach that has helped him secure a reputation as both a razor-sharp humorist and one of America's most fearless political commentators.
According to Moore, Random House was considering canceling the book and destroying its initial print run (which was completed prior to 9/11) when he was asked about the book at a convention of library administrators.
After telling the audience that the book was in all likelihood never coming out, an e-mail campaign was launched by librarians, and in the spring of 2002, Stupid White Men was finally released, quickly becoming a major best-seller.

 Persuasive and passionate. 'Fahrenheit 9/11' is both. It's also Michael Moore's best film.
The big moment in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" comes midway through the documentary, and there's no mistaking it: It's the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, and the president of the United States is sitting in a little chair in a Florida classroom.
Certainly, it's a career landmark, the film that signals his transition from political entertainer to political thinker, from propagandist to idiosyncratic journalist, from colorful gadfly to patriot.
To see "Fahrenheit 9/11" and experience its passion is to wonder why there haven't been popular political films like this since movies began, and from all points of view.

 Fifty-nine Deceits in Fahrenheit 911, Dave Kopel, Independence Institute
Within Fahrenheit 9/11, most of the rest of alleged Bush administration lies actually involve Moore's fabrications to create the appearance of a lie--such as when Moore chops a Condoleezza Rice quote to make her say something when she actually said the opposite.
Also, since the President knew he was on camera, it was reasonable to expect that if he had suddenly sped out of the room, his hasty movement would have been replayed incessantly on television; leaving the room quickly might have exacerbated the national mood of panic, even if Bush had excused himself calmly.

When that treachery hits with the 9/11 attacks, Moore explains how Bush failed to take immediate action to defend his nation, only to later cynically manipulate it to serve his wealthy backers' corrupt ambitions.
Fahrenheit 9/11 is an incendiary zeitgeist movie that taps right into what is currently happening on our political landscape.
His extensive footage of grieving 911 families and Gulf War amputees as pawns for his political agenda was tasteless; nobody needs to be reminded of how horrific terrorism and war is. It was the cheapest of shots, but not the only cheap shot he took in the film; the film was loaded with them.

Some people will say that words like scum and rotten are wrong for Objective Journalism—which is true, but they miss the point.
Director Michael Moore, in his controversial documentary, Fahrenheit 911, doesn’t use the words scum or rotten—though they clearly are implied.
He does, however, provide a lucid and startling critique of George W. Bush’s response to the Sept. 11 attacks, and explores the relationships between the Bush administration, U.S. defense contractors and Saudi Arabian oil interests, which the attacks cemented.
