Fahrenheit 9-11: The Temperature at Which Freedom Burns - Great Piece !!!
<snip>

Seeing police stationed outside our small town movie theatre in Northern Arizona was the first clue that something unusual was going on. The next was the shell-shocked looks on the faces of viewers leaving the premier of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9-11.

Painstakingly researched and documented, the movie offers some good-sized chunks of the evening news that never made it into American living rooms. As the bandwagon filled with most of America’s media heads into the sunset, with Cheney holding the reigns, we finally see the intertwined connections between the bin Laden and Bush families, the infiltration of Halliburton and the Carlyle Group into our government and the Nero-ic image of Bush golfing while Rome burns.

Startling is the footage of George W. on Sept. 11th, as he is told that America is under attack. With a look of hollow confusion on his face, he continues to read a storybook with schoolchildren for an agonizingly long, near-seven minutes. Concern for the country that he has promised to protect seems painfully absent. Though this incident is hardly secret, seeing it in living technicolor is arresting. You’d have to be dead not to wonder, “What the hell was he thinking?”

2. I know what George was thinking: Alibi!
Reading to little children is the optimum innocent activity. And there are lots of witnesses.

As long as George is reading about the goat, George is off the hook for anything that's happening.

Isn't George clever?
