Grrr, another reason why I wont see the piece of fiction called F 9/11.

The family of U.S. Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone was shocked to learn that video footage of the major's Arlington National Cemetery burial was included by Michael Moore in his movie "Fahrenheit 9/11."

"It's been a big shock, and we are not very happy about it, to say the least," Kandi Gallagher, Maj. Stone's aunt and family spokeswoman, tells Washington Times reporter Audrey Hudson.

"We are furious that Greg was in that casket and cannot defend himself, and my sister, Greg's mother, is just beside herself," Miss Gallagher said. "She is furious. She called him a 'maggot that eats off the dead.'"

The family does not know how Mr. Moore obtained the video, and Miss Gallagher said they did not give permission and are considering legal recourse.


Again the liberals love to use dead american soldiers in their propaganda because they can't speak for themselves. It is a coward's move, and utterly pathetic. Good thing this family is seeking legal recorse and attempt to take some of the money out of Moore's pockets. This is one of the reasons why we don't allow footage of flag draped caskets returning home to be photographed. Those are human beings inside those coffins. They are not political bargaining chips.

And if any of you think the banning of these photographs from being released is just another attempt by Bush to control the image of the war, this policy was put in by Bill Clinton.

If you want to use the image of dead soldiers, what ever happened to asking the family for permission? I already know the answer, because 99% of them would tell people like Michael Moore to go fuck themselves.
