Either way, I'm serious about winning the war on terrorism and I'm not above using this tape to shore up the war effort.

Moore announced the existence of the tape. That alone should raise a red flag. He is a media savvy, highly unscrupulous individual who undoubtedly is thinking a few steps ahead, and of course he is looking to damage Bush. It's naive to think that he didn't begin executing a hidden agenda the moment he made the announcement.

What could he possibly know about Berg's death? He was not there when the poor man had his head sliced off.

My guess is thw data on the tape is totally benign, meaningless and extraneous to the investigation. If it was something that could actually get him into trouble do you think he'd be announcing it? Hell no.

He is baiting the FBI, hoping to get them to do something stupid so he then cry "HARASSMENT!" and make a big splash in the media about how the Patriot Act is stripping us of all our freedoms. The FBI should not rise to the bait.

Ignore him.

He didn't announce it. Someone told Salon he had it, and he confirmed it. Salon said it wasn't anyone who worked for him .

Now, I suppose it could have been Michael Berg who told Salon. And I agree that the FBI should tread cautiously. BUT Michael Moore had better be treading cautiously, too. He could be close to breaking the law.

And he is also a vain, strutting narcissist who may be putting his own head in a noose without knowing it. I can't imagine that the media-which has demanded the release of pretty much every scrap of information that had any bearing whatsoever on events that had could be in any way construed as falling under the "public's right to know"-would stand behind him. Let his true believers howl-everybody else would be more interested in what is on the tape.

I think Moore is about to give himself a big black eye-we should do everything we can to put a spotlight on that shiner.

Moore announced the existence of the tape. That alone should raise a red flag.

Not according to salon he didn't:

Word of the footage reached Salon through a source unaffiliated with Moore, or his film, "Fahrenheit 9/11,"

Granted, salon's not exactly the most trustworthy source.
