Censoring Michael Moore

I have already read most of the info that is here. Mr. Quraishi should have provided links to all the sources.

Obviously, Mr. Quraishi has not seen the movie for the simple reason that it has not been released yet. There is lots of hype going around promoting the movie and Mr. Quraishi has bought it; hook, line, and sinker.

This movie is the brainchild of two fat farts Harvey Weinstein and the official leftwing of the US, Michael Moore. They have been playing games to hype a docu-drama as a reality show.
In an election year, when some serious issues are at stake, this movie will be a major distraction and would provide the wingnuts, impetus to portray the whole opposition to Iraq war as shrill.
I just hope that this movie is not released before the elections.

So US benefits the most by the 9/11 attacks afterall! Got its way to Afghan through Pak and then Iraq and soon Bush will start having hallucinations that Iran holds WMDs!

US is funny!

As for Pakistan, a distribution company has acquired rights for the UK which means that sooner or later it will make its way to Karachi`s Rainbow Centre and from there to the other parts of the country.

So is Pakistan :)

I find it very disingenuous that the author is complaining about censorship in the US. Pakistan is a country where journalists are abducted, tortured and sometimes forced to flee the country if they go against the government or the army(e.g. Najam Sethi, Sehbai). Apparently none of this bothers Mr. Quraishi.

I am not saying that what Disney did was appropriate. However it is very difficult to ignore the bias in the article. What does Mr. Quraishi have to say about the press in Pakistan. Will the Pakistani press ever report the truth about the support to Islamic terrorism(or the fight for freedom as the author probably calls it). Will they ever report how Pakistan openly funds and trains terrorists(freedom fighters for the author). Is it not censorship that prevents the press from disclosing that jihads gets their weapons from Pakistan( As opposed to the weapons dropping from the sky).

I am fine with the author criticizing the US. However I am not sure if the author is really concerned about censorship. To me it looks like he is another Pakistani(Islamic) writer who will use each and every available stick to beat the US.

interesting how some people manage to drag Pakistan into every discussion.

Thank you.

Please also try to give us your views on ``Bowling for Columbine``, and the analysis on gun control in the evolution of a Nation, by the same film-maker. Much appreciated.

As for the rave reviews by the American media, there is some debate on whether the film got the prize for quality or content.

As for the Saudi/US linkages, there is some excellent reading material available lately.

Incidentally, Omar Sahib, just curious, but are copies of Who Killed Daniel Pearl available in Karachi?
