I'd say there's a good bit of truth to what he says. But sometimes only
a small piece of it, with a lot of explanatory information conveniently
left out.
There's a show in the US called The Daily Show, which is fairly anti
Bush most of the time. They did a very interesting 'debate' where the
host (John Stewart) asked questions to two versions of Bush: the
pre-election Bush and the post 9-11 Bush. It was fascinating to see how
Bush's stance on most things dramatically changed, even considering the
events. I was surprised Moore didn't use it.
