I think I will read it with great interest.

Yay... and more people read his "work" and blindly follow that blowhard like sheep.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend anybody with my comments. I just think this guy preys on weak minded people who take his word as the absolute truth, without ever thinking for themselves.

If you like his books, movies, whatever, just please enjoy them for what they are (sensationalisms), not for what they claim to be (documentaries).

I like MM. I'm a fan. I like his writing style. He's a funny guy.

But, Krunchyfrogg, I take everything he says with a grain of salt. He's the Fox News of liberals, and I'm well aware of it. But thank God for him.

Both just released before the election ... NICE :D

I'm NOT a particular fan of Moore, as I've made clear. But this collection of letters -- from Iraq -- is AWESOME.

Big Woopty-Doo, so MM is publishing letters from men that are/have been under fire and don't like it! Have seen bodies of humans blown apart and don't like it, who the "HALE" would like seeing those things, or be under fire? About the only people I know of that would like seeing bodies and body parts we have locked-up in prisons. Do we pay a police offer that is forced to shoot and kill a criminal to like it or do we pay them to protect society and do it? Do we pay the military to like war, or do we pay them to defend/protect/attack and destroy any and all enemies of the U.S.A. as directed by the leaders WE the people of the U.S.A. have placed in the positions of power? All I can say to them is welcome to the real world, things have to be done, you've made your choice, you don't have to like it, just do it. Did the workers at ground Zero like pulling out the bodies and body parts they had to recover? Do paramedics like recovering bodies from automobile wreaks? Do rescue workers like finding and recovering bodies of Hurricane victoms? Should we stop having paramedics/rescue workers because they don't like seeing dead bodies? That's find by me, if that is the choice our society makes, just don't come complaining to me when the bodies start to stink.

What about complaining about all these deaths for a war that they were mislead into?

Someone obviously didn't read the sample letters. I most preferred the one from the civilian contractor, confirming that 100% of the contractors are over-billing. I've seen it before. Big litigation matter comes you're way -- "sure, I worked 15.6 hours today." Happens all the time when the money is flowing faster than can be realistically accounted for. And, it's fraud -- tracing right up the ladder to a company w<font size=16>h</font>ose n<font size=16>a</font>me I wi<font size=16>ll</font> not ment<font size=16>i</font>on, out of <font size=16>b</font>egr<font size=16>u</font>dging <font size=16>r</font>espec<font size=16>t</font> f<font size=16>o</font>r Che<font size=16>n</font>ey.
