Well, whatta ya know... Moore had footage of Iraqi abuse months before the story broke on 60 minutes, but says he was "afraid" to release it because he didn't want to be accused of promoting his movie.  Now that the movie is "in the can" so to speak, Moore has seized the opportunity to admit he made a very bad (read immoral) mistake.
Big of you, Mike, and thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure and boycott your exploitative movie.

HAH!  Since when has Michael Moore ever been afraid of criticism?  The more likely scenario is Moore knew what he had and made a conscious decision to hold on to it until the "right" moment (meaning when exposing the abuse could do the most damage to the Bush campaign) came along.  Had he blown the whistle earlier, the worst of the abuse would not have happened and Kerry would not be able to benefit politically.

That's my opinion ... anybody else have one?

WAR IN IRAQ
A Pentagon report last year said that "the president" was not accountable to laws banning the use of torture.

John Ashcroft testifies about prison torture, and immediately comes under fire for refusing to release memos on the torture.

107 criminal misconduct cases have been filed against US soldiers for possible detainee abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan. A consistent pattern of forced nudity has emerged from the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.

Did the White House advocate a doctrine of legal torture?

Six European soldiers were killed in an ammunition explosion.

And two car bombs kill 14 Iraqis and 1 American GI.

The UN Security Council endorses a plan to transfer Iraqi sovereignty.

9/11 & "THE WAR ON TERROR"
After denying that such a flight ever occurred, the TIA now confirms that two days after September 11th, three Saudis were picked up in Florida and flown out of the country.

A final 9/11 report places blame on the FBI and CIA.

Almost fifty percent of Saudi Arabians say they have a favorable view of Osama Bin Laden and his beliefs.

More cities continue to reject the Patriot Act.

A new 9/11 website is created to get answers for unexplained facts.

Disney censors Moore
Disney bought Miramax 10 years ago but retained the rights to block films it deemed against its interests, such as adult-rated films.

Moore suggests Disney was "afraid of losing millions of tax breaks in penance for angering [state governor] Jeb Bush in Florida, where Disney have a lot of their investment".

"I have never seen a grosser example of what's wrong when just a few corporations own the media."
