Republican administration subpoenas Michael Moore |
From UPI, 7/26/07:

BURBANK, Calif. (UPI) --
Michael Thursday said the Bush administration has served him with a
subpoena regarding his trip to Cuba during the making of his new film,
"Sicko."
The Oscar-winning filmmaker, who appeared Thursday on NBC's "The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno," said he was notified about the subpoena
at the network's studios in Burbank, Calif.
"I haven't even told my own family yet," Moore said.
"I was just informed when I was back there with Jay that the Bush
administration has now issued a subpoena for me."
Moore filmed the trip as part of his film comparing the U.S.
healthcare system with government healthcare systems in other
countries.
He took three Sept. 11, 2001, emergency rescue workers to Guantanamo
Bay "because I heard the al-Qaida terrorists we have in the camps
there, detained, are receiving free dental, medical, eye care, the
whole deal, and our own (Sept. 11) rescue workers can't get that in
New York City."
Moore said the film's distributor, the Weinstein Co., will donate 11
percent of "Sicko's" box-office receipts Aug. 11 to "help these
workers and the other workers who need help."

I would guess that health insurance and drug industry gangsters were
deeply involved in the decision to issue the subpoena.

When Ol' Senile President Reagan demanded "Mr. Gorbachev. tear down
this wall!" Someone should have had the wit to counter: "First tear
down the wall you have around Cuba!"
There is only one way to break the insurance lobby - put them out of
business altogether.
