Schande über Bush und Bin Laden


Seine flammende Rede bei der Oscar-Verleihung ("Shame on you, Mr. Bush") sei teilweise durch die Recherche für sein nächstes regierungskritisches Film-Projekt motiviert gewesen, sagte Moore. Einen Geldgeber für "Fahrenheit 911", eine Dokumentation, die sich mit den Ereignissen in Amerika nach dem 11.

H4x0rs Sternenbanner auf der al-Dschasira-Seite
