| Michael Moore has Berg interview |
| 2004-05-28 |
| Michael Moore, whose incendiary new documentary lambasts President George W Bush’s handling of the war, said today that he has footage unused in the film of Nicholas Berg, the American civilian later beheaded in Iraq. The footage of an interview with Berg "is approximately 20 minutes long. We are not releasing it to the media", Moore said in a statement. "It is not in the film. We are dealing privately with the family." Neither Moore nor his representatives would describe the nature or contents of the interview with Berg, who held staunch pro-war views. No one answered the phone today at the home of Berg’s parents in West Chester, Pennsylvania. |

| #7 Moore needs to release ALL the Berg footage. What is he hiding? Why won't he show the people the truth? Where's the nearest Duncan Donuts! Impeach Kerry! (err, well, later anyway)... |

| #6 Of course it is pro-war and pro-American. Now that Nic Berg's father has demonstrated what a twit he is by using his son's death to promote his affiliation with International A.N.S.W.E.R. (the world's biggest collection of asswipes)Moore can safely give it too him knowing it will never be seen since it repudiates everything Mr. Berg and Moore stand for...... |

| #4 This is pretty obvious stuff. Michael Moore was in iraq (or had a team in Iraq) filming stuff for his movie. He ran into Berg and interviewed him, but couldn't get Berg to say anything bad about America or Bush so Moore decided not to use the film. In fact Berg probably said some pro-American things so Moore would be just as happy to keep the footage out of the public eye. |
