Phil deserves mad props for writing the best thing I've read about Fahrenheit 9/11. I imagine that you're all pretty sick of the seemingly endless and rather stupid debate (for the most part) around the whole movie, but if you're gonna read one last thing, make sure it's his piece.

Actually, you should also read this interview with Lila Lipscomb from the Guardian. Here's an exerpt:

"When I go to Washington DC as an American citizen I have a right, I have a right to go to the White House and I'll not stop until that right is given back to us. My son's blood paid for that White House, and I can't go in? That's my White House. I'm furious." What would she say to Bush if she met him? "God have mercy." She shakes her head. "God have mercy."

It's a confrontation that I'd like to see, but I fear that Bush would just slink away, like he did today when pressed to answer questions about Kenneth Lay's indictment. Here's the photographic evidence. The only way he could've looked more shameful is if he'd whipped out a copy of "My Pet Goat" and stared blankly for oh, say, seven minutes.
