Moore's account is ... largely fictional. That's a pretty strong statement to make -- but you aren't providing any specifics to contradict (or weaken) any of the claims he's making. At best you seem to be providing side arguments -- that is, counterspin. But you aren't giving us anything that would help us evaluate what the guy is actually saying, one way or the other. Other than the fact that he's Michael Moore, and you apparently don't like him.
