Merely pointing this out
Christopher Hitchens on Michael Moore's new film:
To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery.

Hmm. Just saw the movie. It is clearly, obviously, unfair in places. But where does Hitchens dispute the facts that are the most damning? He doesn't; he just resorts to the same demagoguery.
Why weren't the Bin Ladens questioned before they were allowed to leave?
Why did Condi and Colin say there was no evidence of WMD or nuclear in Iraq pre 9/11, but change their tune so suddenly, in absence of credible new evidence?
This, just to name two.
Dispute the facts, not the format!
