See: Iraq the Model for an inside view of Iraqi sovereignty:
Another friend approached me. This one was not religious but he was one of the conspiracy theory believers. He put his hands on my shoulders and said smiling, ?I must admit that I?m beginning to believe in what you?ve been telling us for months [...]
Matthew Rothschild of The Progressive magazine is a lefty with a brain. He wasn’t impressed with Michael Moore’s movie, especially with the scene John admires in the next post. Here’s why:
Even the lingering of the film on Bush’s face at the school in Florida after the planes have hit the towers was borderline low to [...]

President Bush made a pitch for universal broadband recently, a vital tool in the war on terror:
Remember, we’re still in a battle against ideological extremists who use terrorism as a tool to frighten, scare, kill people such as us who love freedom. And, therefore, what I’m telling you is as broadband expands, it’s going to [...]
Andrew Sullivan fleshes out a theme we wrote on yesterday, comparing Passion of the Christ to Fahrenheit 9/11, and since he’s seen both he has the gory details:

Jonah Goldberg nails Moore:

How does any of that prove it was launched to obscure Bush’s ties to the bin Ladens? It doesn’t and neither does Moore. That’s [...]
‘Fahrenheit 9/11′ has sold a lot of tickets for a “documentary:”
Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11″ made Hollywood history by selling $21.8 million worth of tickets in its first three days, becoming the only documentary ever to outgun all other blockbuster films at the nation’s box offices in one weekend.

Richard Streeter, who saw Fahrenheit 9/11 in Las Vegas, was accosted by members of the Moveon.org group passing out leaflets outside the theater. One of them assaulted him for expressing his views:
