I read today: "Michael Moore may be prevented from advertising his controversial new movie, “Fahrenheit 9/11,” on television or radio after July 30 if the Federal Election Commission (FEC) today accepts the legal advice of its general counsel."
I have absolutely no use for Michael Moore and wish he'd just go away. However, as much as I cannot stand him or his anti-American trash, his right to free speech must be protected. That there is an election coming up is irrelevant. Actually that's not right, it is even more crucial in the context of elections that free speech be protected! If Bush should lose the next election, I do not believe it will be due to Michael Moore's rantings, but if it is, that's fair and proper too.

Recommended article: ''Our Enemy Is Not Terrorism'
An address by Former Secretary of the Navy John Lehman
Excerpts: "... today it is still a prohibited offense for an airline to have two people of the same ethnic background interviewed at one time, because that is discrimination. Our airline security is still full of holes."
"Actions have consequences, and people must be held accountable. Customs officer Jose Melendez-Perez stopped the 20th terrorist, who was supposed to be on Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania. Probably because of the shorthanded muscle on that team, the passengers were able to overcome the terrorists. Melendez-Perez did this at great personal risk, because his colleagues and his supervisors told him, "You can't do this. This guy is an Arab ethnic. You're racially profiling. You're going to get in real trouble, because it's against Department of Transportation policy to racially profile." He said, "I don't care. This guy's a bad guy. I can see it in his eyes." As he sent this guy back out of the United States, the guy turned around to him and said, "I'll be back." You know, he is back. He's in Guantanamo. We captured him in Afghanistan."
