   Granted, this is a touchy topic (meaning Iraq), but what do they (Warners   
   Bros.) think will happen if they release the doc? Being controvercial   
   obviously hasn't hurt Michael Moore. If anything, it caused more people who   
   hold ideologies on both sides of the aisle to talk about what's going on and   
   try to get answers as opposed to listening to rhetoric and basing an opinion   
   on that. Isn't that a good thing?
