Wolf Blitzer played a piece CNN put together about Sicko with completely inaccurate information. It is the same thing they did with F9/11 with no correction or apology and Moore was rightfully pissed.

He even got CNN to correct their false stats this time!

Go Moore!!! Bring Universal Health Care to the masses!!!

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

If every other industrialised nation on the planet can afford universal health care, why can't the world's leading economy afford it?

No, we are just pawns of a militarized nation, much like communist Russia of the 80's.

Our people are suffering needlessly because of it.

No. Technically it's the other way around. The United States owes trillions of borrowed dollars to foreign countries and investors. Ironically, much of that money goes to sustaining the over 700 military bases in nearly 36 countries worldwide. It hasn't much to do with 'protection' at all, but rather control.

The firebrand filmmaker says he has been served with a subpoena by the federal government for a trip to Cuba for his hit healthcare documentary, Sicko. The Treasury Department confirmed two months ago that it was probing Moore's visit to Cuba, during which he was accompanied by some ailing 9-11 rescue workers.

Appearing Thursday on NBC's Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Oscar winner said that he had just learned backstage that he had been served with an order compelling him to testify about his sojourn to the communist nation.

"I haven't even told my own family this 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 going after me for helping these 9-11 rescue workers."

Simply ridiculous. You can tell this is very most likely politics. I just saw a reporter from CNN in Cuba reporting the July 26th celebrations. Perhaps we should subpoena him too.

It's all about maintaining US hegemony.

That's why the US has troops in over 120 countries.

That's why the US invaded Iraq, to put down a massive GI bootprint right in the middle of the middle east.

That's why there will still be significant US presence in Iraq 50 years from now.

Millions of tourists from all over the world visit Cuba each year.

How can the US claim to be free if the government won't allow the citizens to travel to Cuba?
