Michael Moore Miramaxed Out

Oh, no - more censorship! ):-(
The Walt Disney Company has forbidden its Miramax subsidiary to distribute Michael Moore's new documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," linking the Bush family to the bin Laden family, because it might endanger tax breaks the Disney company gets for its Disney World theme park complex in Florida - where Jeb Bush, the President's brother, is governor. You can read the story here.
Moore has vowed to get this film out in North America somehow by summer; more power to him. I've read enough about the Bush-bin Laden link to know that this film cannot and should not be stopped. There'll be more from Mike in the coming weeks.
