A "seriedade" de Michael Moore

Alguns exemplos retirados do sumário preparado por David Kopel:

12. According to Richard Clarke, Clarke personally approved the Saudi departures, and the decision went no higher in the chain of command.

13. Moore lied to a TV reporter in claiming that Fahrenheit discloses Clarke?s decision to the audience. Clarke called the Saudi exit material in Fahrenheit a "mistake" by Moore.

14. Contrary to what Fahrenheit claims, the September 11 Commission staff found that many Saudis were asked "detailed questions" before being allowed to leave.

15. Moore: "But really, who wanted to fly? No one. Except the bin Ladens." Moore himself wanted to fly home from California at that time, as detailed in his Sept. 14, 2004 web journal.

(...)

24. Craig Unger claims that the Saudis have $860 billion invested in the U.S. The figure appears in his book House of Bush, House of Saud, but neither of Unger's cited sources support such a large figure.
Moore claims that the Saudis "own 7% of America." But even if you believe Unger?s fictitious $860 billion figure, the Saudis own only about 7% of total foreign investment in America, which is over 10 trillion dollars. Only if all of
America were owned by foreigners could Moore's claim be correct.

25. The Saudi embassy does not receive special protection. It is not the only foreign embassy which is guarded by the U.S. Secret Service. An international treaty signed by the U.S. requires the U.S. to protect any embassy which asks for protection.
