2. What was your opinion on the President before watching it?\n3. Did your opinion change?\n4. Have you heard of FahrenHYPE 9/11?  If so, have you seen it?\n5. Do you think that a person who hates somebody can make an unbiased movie about them?  Or would they try to sway the viewers into thinking like them using clever editing?\n\nThis is an independent poll I'm conducting.  I'd love to see some intelligence...and I promise to award best answer not to the person who completely agrees with me, but whoever has the most intelligent response.  Thanks in advance!

1. No.\n2. I think President Bush was doing an OUTSTANDING job.\n3. N/A.\n4. Yes. No.\n5. No.\n\nGiven some of the political views I have posted on Y!A, it might surprise some people to find out that I refuse to watch either film. Both filmmakers have an obvious agenda, and you can trust neither to be unbiased. It is too easy today to twist facts and edit video to make it say whatever you want - as these two obviously have. I am interested in learning FACTS. My OPINIONS do not need help being shaped from either Michael Moore or Alan Peterson.\n\nThe better documentaries about 9/11 have explored both sides of the events while ignoring obvious left and right-wing propaganda. President Bush's response on 9/11 was not perfect; he DID make some mistakes. But he did a lot of things right, too.\n\nKSM (Khalid Sheik Mohammed - that real hairy bastard nabbed in Pakistan a year or so back) has stated in interrogation that al Qaida had planned MORE attacks on the US immediately following 9/11. What al Qaida had NOT expected, however, was President Bush's response. Al Qaida expected a few cruise missiles as an answer, and then life would go on. The Bush Doctrine ("you are either with us or against us") and the military operations that accompanied it totally threw al Qaida for a loop and disrupted any chance they had of launching another operation.\n\nThe KSM statement alone shows that President Bush has done his job and saved the lives of THOUSANDS - if not tens or hundreds of thousands - of American lives.

Unbelievable.  You really believe these asinine kook thoughts.  Maybe when you're 74, you could look back and wonder why you wasted the brain cells of your youth.  Doesn't anyone explain things to you?  Do you live in an elaborate cardboard box with three and a half bathrooms?\n\n. Was 9/11 an American conspiracy?\n. Should we tremble within our borders and not dare to venture out unless the Europeans hold out their supervisory hands?\n. When we find perpetrators, or persons of interest strapped with bombs across their chest, should we set them up at the Hilton and charge them for misguided misdemeanors?\n. How do you suggest we find these misunderstood criminals?  Call out from the middle of the street, or does this infringe on your rights?  We could find them by word of mouth.\n. Do you know what genocide means?\n. Do you know what a war criminal is -  the misunderstood man wearing explosives named Bush?  Because his name is Bush? \n \nI want to say that you aren't a part of humanity, but that's too harsh.  I want to be kind.  You're more like a blob of goo.

I have seen the movie. It's impossible to avoid bias in things like these. Clearly Al Gore was/is concerned about Global Warming, but  it's impossible to comment on what should/could/would have happened if things had been different in the election. \n\nI thought the movie was super informative and interesting. It definitely made me think about global warming. It's a really important subject and I think the movie does a good job of introducing the issue to people who might be less informed about it. Go check it out!

I have seen United 93.  If you do not want to see it, that is fine, but don't knock it before you see it.  United 93 is an amazing tribute to the memories of these heroes on flight 93.  And yes, they portray them just that way, heroic.  These passengers saved hundreds, if not thousands of lives and our Nations Capitol!  10% of the opening weekend gross is pledged to go to the United 93 memorial.  That is over 1 million dollars.  Also, they contacted all of the family members of the victims of United 93 who approved of its making.  If the families can accept the movie, why can't we?  \nJerry Bingham's son, Mark, died on United Flight 93.  He has been quoted by the Sun-Sentinel in Florida that he wants people to watch this movie.  Yes, it is hard to watch, and he, like so many others, cried during the movie.  But he also says that he exhaled a sigh of relief, knowing that the filmmakers have honored their memory.\nThis movie is not flashy with big Hollywood names and special effects.  Several FAA and Military personnel working on 9/11 played themselves in the movie.     \nWe cannot ignore the attacks of 9/11.  What, if we don't talk about it, it never happened?  Will that make the pain go away? NO!  Put it out there, in a RESPECTFUL way, the way this film did, and begin to heal that way.\nThe timing is NOT too soon.  In fact, when most people think of 9/11, they think of the two planes that went into the towers.  United 93 has never gotten the recognition it deserved, and perhaps memories of this flight were even beginning to fade a little.  This movie refreshes our memories and honors theirs.   \n  I will tell you the movie I AM very skeptical of, and that is one due out sometime this year about the World Trade Center. Nick Cage is in that one.

who did it? well it wasnt the butler in the hallway wilh a candlestick. how many different arab leaders are there in U.A.E.?i wouldnt know.however, it had to be a terrorist group of the arab world. look at the names listed they were all arabic.as for the official story, what we read and saw on the tube was as official as it gets.information concerning this tragic day possibly was edited just to be on the safe side. what i mean is that the story probably had more to it than what was said ,but with the turmoil in the world today, the increasing price of oil and fingers pointed at everyone, why say anything to start trouble? personally i dont think our country is the most advanced in defense or technology.our computers are made up of japans experts and as far as i know our defense systems are made with the same technology. i think there a a few small nations in the world that have come a long way as we have but secrets must be kept.hopefully im wrong but,i have read and surfed the web,i had found many items of interest that are questionable.im not a trouble maker and i think any information gotten will be sufficient enough to sustain my curiosity. i served during vietnam and i enlisted and would do it again. this country is my home and i was proud to serve.

Hang about.  Can you imagine if the Kazakhstanis put out a film taking the piss out of Jews?  The furore that followed would be immmense.  \n\nHowever, because this is a Jewish comedian taking the piss out of a small Muslim naiton that most people have only heard of because of Borat, it is seen as odd that the minister is annoyed.  \n\nIf it were the other way around, the Israelis would be doing  anut, and the U.S. would be demnding an apology, not promoting the damn thing.\n\nYou have to appreciate that different people find different things funny.  Different cultures have different senses of humour, and we should acknowledge that.  \n\nAll the examples you cited are true.   Our Prime Minister is an idiot, football (let alone footballerS) is a joke, but half of the stuff that is associated with Kazakhstan in this film is completely made up.  If this were on a personal scale, someone spreading absolutle lies (which are harmful, even if made jokingly) about naother person, they would be sued, but because this is telling malicious lies about a whole country, it is seen as ok.  \n\nI am sure the Kazakh minister can take a joke, it is just that this one is probably not to his taste as he and his countrymen are the butt of it.\n\nIf it were aimed at the Americans, then why does Cohen have to choose an actual country?  Why oculd he not have chosen a made up country to center his joke around, like those fake tourist guide books that sell so well?

Thats not the greatest film Ive ever seen to be honest. But its not bad. This documentary, is a much, much better one.\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848\n\nIt talks not only about the pentagon, but also what really happened at the WTC towers and Shanksville PA. If you think what you saw in your movie there was mind-blowing, watch this one. I was stunned by the end. Great film. Thank you and keep spreading the word!\n\n\npeace

Sorry I haven't seen it, but I've read something about it. I've also read and I heard some shocking stuff about 9/11 you may want to check into the websites below. It's a lot of reading, but you can limit your reading by searching or getting into the archives.\n\nI do hope we don't get abusive remarks from other yahoo answers because we are looking at the "other side' trying to make some sense of what's going on - I believe we owe it to ourselves and it's healthy to question what's going around us because it does affect us all and all we really want is to get to the bottom of this and end all this chaos. Thanks for caring.\n\nI am trying to download it now.

I found it shocking, disturbing and compelling. They say you know the truth when you here it; well it all seems to ring true. Some have mentioned it as propeganda. No. Its a dangerous documentary that has used facts, COMMON SENSE and many many eye witnesses and footage. I for one found it quite disconcerting to know that it was a set-up. Look at what the Bush administration has used it to aid? Afganistan and Iraq, the deaths of thousands, more genuine terrorism including in  countries that have backed America in this phoney 'war upon terrorism'. Its sickening to actually see the evidence that we've been lied to and are still being lied to. Those who cannot see this from this documentary, good luck to you. You are so engrossed in the system and the illusions that the govenment continually dish out that you deserve sympathy. Just think of this; consider the dangers that those who put this documentary could be in and have been risking by making it. This is accusing the government, the fat-cats and the organisations such as the FBI in a very big and dangerous way. They're exposing a most ugly conspiracy that is endangering. I'm just amazed that this documentary is obtainable.\n\nGood luck everyone.

Did you forget that some of the people on Flight 93 were talking on phones to their families, who told them about the WTC? Those aboard who attacked the hijackers told family members of their plans. \n\nI haven't, but maybe you should see the movie, which has been approved by the families of those who died. \n\nAnd why would anyone rebuke the U.S. for shooting down a dangerous weapon?  Obviously those aboard didn't agree with you.

This is what keeps everyone in line who was at least marginally involved.  A LOT of money has been made by those who were involved, first and foremost, and any "truth revelation" would automatically implicate all those contractors (everyone that makes weapons), corporations (airline bailout anyone?), and private owners ($9 billion on the WTC property deal?) that may have had anything to do with it.  Many others were also given promotions despite their negligence on 9/11 for simply going along with the official story, whether they "made it happen" or not.  \n\nMany others have profitted immensely from the resulting fear of terrorism and the wave of nationalism sentiment after the attacks.  Ask any pro-Bush pundit what their book deals are worth, vs the not-for-profit anti-Bush liberals (Michael Moore is an ass and a very big exception).  Ask Fox News what this has meant for their ratings and their advertising value.  A LOT of public personalities owe their very existence to the events of 9/11.  If this truth should be revealed, they would quickly become irrelevant or traitorous.\n\nWhat would it mean for politics?  Both parties would be like on a sinking ship, fingers would get pointed everywhere, and 3rd party candidates might actually suddenly have some pull for better or worse.  Both parties are enjoying their monopoly on political power and the truth would be most upsetting.\n\nWhat would the truth do for the morale of the American people?  Those that fully believed in our benevolent govnernment and have had their simple minds be the subject of propoganda control for years will suddenly wake up and become VERY angry.  These same sheep that the neo-conservatives have been counting on for support will become their most violent opposition.  Fringe groups on all sides will capitalize on this power vacuum created.  Civil war could indeed be a possibility.

I may not be the brightest bulb on the string, but there are two simple questions that haven't been answered to my satisfaction. \n\nThe first, is had anyone seen the plane as it was headed for the Pentagon? Specifically, anyone on the freeway or nearby roads? Anyone from the nearby hotel? A low flying plane of that size would have made tremendous noise that should have made at least one person look up. I don't remember any stories or news accounts of at least one witness who would be eager to be on TV and talk about such an experience.\n\nSecondly, and I would think this is most important, the quote of the gas station attendant who says the FBI was there "in minutes after the crash" to grab the surveillance tapes. I do need the gentleman's exact definition of minutes, since the difference between two or three, as opposed to 20 or 30 would make or break the argument for conspiracy. I would fully expect the FBI to gather every piece of evidence available in the quickest manner, since at the time of the crash, the "who dunnit" list was supposedly wide open. However, if agents were gathering information literally minutes after the crash, that would raise and wave wildly every red flag. \n\nEven if the argument was made that the Pentagon was a foreseeable target, and agents were in place, why weren't non-essential employees in the Pentagon directed to areas of safety? \n\nThe Secretary of Defense was in the building, during a national emergency. If it was prudent to have FBI agents at the ready to seize video of an air assault on the Pentagon from a gas station, why was the Secretary, 6th in line to the throne, left to sit in his office, venerable to attack?  \n\nDedication to office? Nope...I just don't see that happening. Job and status guaranteed for 8 years? Might have been a gamble he offered to take...\n\nIt would explain why he didn't fall on his sword and resign, at the very least, to uphold the honor that is expected of anyone in command of the military after so many false claims of easy victory in Iraq.

With all due respect, let me first say that Robling dwrd is a complete idiot.  I had to read his answer 3 times, because I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  A complete neocon totally in denial.  Now then, with that being said, Rense has nailed it.\n\n1.  Why won't the Pentagon release the video (that would undoubtedly solve all this BS) from the gas station across street.  \n\n2.  Why did the FBI confiscate that tape immediately following the incident, and why did the FBI tell the employees to forget about whatever it was that they saw on that tape.\n\n3.  Why God wasn't our fricken commander in chief hauled away immediately into a safe place, rather than reading stories about goats with 7 year olds.  Paaaaaalease that's a dead give away.\n\n4.  Here's a classic.  Why wasn't there one MIND YOU NOT ONE single stitch of blood, or bodies in Pennsylania.  Not a single vial of blood?  Not one body?  Not one toe?  Nuttin....\n\n5.  What's this business about these phone calls being made from the planes.  The "let's roll" line is a classic made for tv movie.... which incidentally is exactly what happened. \n\n6.  What about the witnesses.  One of the first news reporter on the scene at the WTC phoned into his station, and reported what he saw.  A military style looking plane.  One that he had never seen before.  No windows!!  Definetly not a passenger jet.  Good luck trying to find that footage.  Impossible.\n\n7.  Why did President Bush himself say that he watched the plane fly into the building (WTC) when there was no footage of plane 1.   Not at that time anyway.\n\n8.  Here's a kicker.  Why did Condi (freak) Rice call her buddy/Mayor of California and tell him specifically NOT to fly commercial airlines that week.?  Better yet, why did Mr. Rumsfailed also alter his plans as to not fly commercial?  And Mr. Ashcroft?  And the list goes on and on.\n\nYOU PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT 911 WAS NOT constructed by our own Gov. are just complete morons, who don't want to take off your tinfoil hat, for whatever reason.  And really, it's okay.  I was like you at one time too. \n\nThere comes a time, as I'm sure it will happen with you, when the red flags are just screaming with fake WMD's, muslim terrorists, middle east whatever's........\n\nIT'S ABOUT THE OIL PEOPLE.  PLAIN AND SIMPLE.  WE NEEDED A REASON TO GO TO WAR.  BADA BOOM BADA BANG.

I loved the film, and as it turned out, most of the clips I saw in it, were also clips I saw on TV. But most who hate the movie stand by their theocratic thinking president, and the govt he runs. They're narrow-minded. Even if u didn't like the subject matter, the film was good, and open-minded people would be able to see that, even if they didn't agree with mr moore's views.

I loved it, I own it.  I have all of Michael Moore's film's and think he's a true American Hero.  A bit abrasive and annoying sometimes and over the top, but so are the right wingers.  \n\nThe part I liked most was when Bush sat there for 7 minutes while America was under attack and didn't do anything.  His dad would have been outta the chair in a heart beat, telling the kids, "sorry, I really loved spending time with you, but . . . "  and he sat there with a stunned look on his face, then went back to reading to them.  Just no leadership skills.  SAD.\n\nI also liked when they said Jeb Bush had just had dinner with bin Ladens brother the night before, etc.\n\nWhat do I not like about it.  Its a VERY tragic moment in our history.  It could have been less political and more coldly factual.  \n\nBut again, turn about is fair play.

Mitigitale, I think... damn, go and pick a screen name that is unmemorizable, \nI don't side with the terrorists.  \nThe whole administration has been like a 3-year-old getting his picture taken \n"Look at the funny bunny!  Look at the funny bunny!  Don't look over there, there are bad skeletons over there, OooOooOoooh, Look at the funny bunny!!!"\nWhat I can't understand is if we were bombed by people in Afghanistan, why didn't we finish our job there before going after old ties in Iraq.  \n\n"I'm George Bush Jr.  My daddy was threatened by Sadam so I'm gonna fergit about catching those ass holes who attacked NYC and go all ADD on the American People and go after him again.  Then, I know, I'll try to ammend the constitution to disenfranchise gay people cause all them christian folk hate them and they'll support me no matter wut!"
