Oh please.
Michael Moore faces U.S. Treasury investigation over 'Sicko' documentary's Cuba trip - Yahoo! News
Michael Moore is under investigation by the U.S. Treasury Department for taking ailing Sept. 11 rescue workers to Cuba for a segment in his upcoming health-care documentary “Sicko,” The Associated Press has learned....
“Sicko” promises to take the health-care industry to task the way Moore confronted America's passion for guns in “Bowling for Columbine” and skewered Bush over his handling of Sept. 11 in “Fahrenheit 9/11.”The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control notified Moore in a letter dated May 2 that it was conducting a civil investigation for possible violations of the U.S. trade embargo restricting travel to Cuba. A copy of the letter was obtained Wednesday by the AP.
“This office has no record that a specific license was issued authorizing you to engage in travel-related transactions involving Cuba,” Dale Thompson, OFAC chief of general investigations and field operations, wrote in the letter to Moore.
In March, Moore took about 10 ailing workers from the Ground Zero rescue effort in Manhattan for treatment in Cuba, said a person working with the filmmaker on the release of “Sicko.”
The Bushites must have went to Bizarro world PR school. Or else are just dumb-asses. Not mutually exclusive, I suppose.
After receiving the letter, Moore arranged to place a copy of the film in a “safe house” outside the country to protect it from government interference, said the person working on the release of the film.Sept. 11 rescue workers “risked their lives searching for survivors, recovering bodies, and clearing away toxic rubble,” O'Hara said. “Now, many of these heroes face serious health issues, and far too many of them are not receiving the care they need and deserve.”
Ah, the land of the free, home of free speech, as long as one doesn't criticize Dear Leader.
