RE: Off Beat: U.S. Government Trying to Seize New MichaelMoore Film

You can't go to Cuba at all if you're American, even through a third
country (Canada et al).  There are some exceptions, for "educational
tours" and that sort of thing.

I would avoid discussing the puke at all cost, but I'll just let you
know that the government is wondering how he ever made the movie since
he never had permission to go to Cuba in the first place. He made an
application to go, and on it he lied about being a full-time journalist.
That application was never acted on so he went anyway. To be sure, they
should have processed the application much more quickly but he had to of
known it was going to be turned down.

That said, I'm not sure how this law works anyway. I'm not aware of
flights from the US to Cuba. I know you can go to Canada and then to
Cuba, but if you're doing that, why would you need permission from the
U.S. government?

Moore is naturally spinning this to look like the administration is on a
witch hunt to get him. I hope they do get him but I have a hard time
believing Bush - or his evil minions - care that much about him to be
pulling strings at the justice department. If they are, well, nothing
new for a politician and he deserves much worse than he's likely to get.
