I do not intend to go on a political tirade for this post, but to this 'misuse' of information seems to be not just limited to scientific data. Just watched Fahrenheit 911. Very thought provoking show about the forces and motivations behind some of the decisions made by the administration.
Yes but do realise the director is sometimes economical with the facts.
I find the movie a little tiring to watch and it seems the movie is driven not solely by the quest to search for the 'truth'.
Of course I agree that we must know that the director is no doubt economical with facts. Did some searching myself and found that Moore actually supplied where he got his information from.

Still this is interesting, for sometimes even scientists are guilty of only presenting one side of the story.
