I agree Wednesday that healthcare is a mess...but I'd rather see someone with credibility do it. Once this story really hits, and the full story is known, Michael Moore won't ever be taken seriously again IMO. I heard the Sgt. interviewed on the radio this morning. Michael is all done.

Injured Vet Sues Michael Moore For $85 Million

(CBS4) MIDDLEBORO A local veteran who lost parts of both of his arms in Iraq, is suing filmmaker Michael Moore. Sgt. Peter Damon says Moore recycled old news footage and used it in a way that made Damon seem anti-war.

The snip-it appears in Moore’s film "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Sgt. Peter Damon, a father of two from Middleboro, strongly supports the war effort in Iraq and never agreed to appear in Moore’s movie. He is now suing for $85 million.

"I didn't lose my arms over there to come back and be used as ammunition against my commander in chief," said Damon.

Damon was interviewed by NBC in 2003 while being treated at Walter Reed Army Hospital. The interview was about a new painkiller being used on injured soldiers. Damon says he did not express any views on the war itself in that interview.
Michael Moore used a clip from that interview in "Fahrenheit 9/11." It shows Damon lying on a gurney, saying he feels like he’s being "crushed in a vice."

The scene appears in a sequence that talks about how the government is abandoning veterans.

"The original interview was supposed to be someting positive about the treatment we were receiving, not an attack, not something to be used in a story about veterans being left behind, because as you can see behind me, I am the last person to talk about being left behind," said Damon.

You may recall Peter Damon threw out the first pitch at Fenway Park after returning home to Middleboro. The non-profit group Homes For Our Troops also built a home for the Damon family, specially designed for Peter’s physical needs.

The lawsuit also names NBC, Miramax, and other production companies.

CBS4's Jon Keller reached out to Moore's office with no response. Damon's lawyer says the case could take a year to make it to court.

That video did it for my son too. He was 11 at the time. He was still attending meetings with my jw x .. I was watching the video with a friend when he walked into the room. Something must have caught his attention because he asked..."you mean it's not true?" I said why not watch and see what you think. He sat down and watched the video. When it was through he said. "I'm not going any more. They lied to me." My x made him go for a while...but he had seen through it and didn't buy into it for a minute from that point on.
