Go WikiLeaks!

Interesting scene in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" shows him standing on the public sidewalk across the street from the Saudi Embassy in D.C., and two Secret Service vehicles suddenly show up, and one Secret Service agent goes up to MM to inquire about why he is there.

The SS guy was very polite; but it makes one wonder why Secret Service would show up just because someone was shooting film across the street from the Saudi Embassy.

Why Secret Service and not D.C. police?
