George W Bush ... the guy who :-
[1] Let the entire Bin Laden family leave the USA without questioning after 9/11
I take it that this info is from the Michael Moorcock movie? Have heard about it.
Incidentally, I've read some reviews about F91 and while some have applauded his directness, some say its a one-sided movie coloured by Moorcock's obsession to get Bush out of the White House. Anyone seen the movie who can shed some light on this?

It was in the (UK) news at the time it happened, although F911 did also mention it.

It is, of course, incredibly one-sided - Moore makes no attempt to be unbiased or even-handed, but then he makes no secret of the fact it's a complete hatchet-job either.
Funnily enough, I remember hearing that some Republican film-maker was supposed to be producing a documentary which goes in the completely opposite direction - showing Bush to be completely wonderful and the saviour of the world. That was when F9/11 first opened though, and I haven't heard anything about it since.

Ha ha... that would have been something! I bet they couldn't find someone to direct it though. :)
EDIT: Mr. A, thanks for the link. I tried watching it's proving to be too much of a strain on my poor dial-up. :)

In the spirit of this thread I am going to call McCain as the winner.
