"In our conversation, he said that only one member of Congress had a family member in Iraq, where as comprehensive reports have talked about children of (other Congressmen) in the military or in Iraq," says Kennedy, who complains the interview was selectively edited and that Moore didn't use his response in the trailer. "I told him I have a nephew in the military. . . . The trailer reflects the patching together of pieces to give a distorting picture."
But Kennedy forgets an important distinction. As Moore details on his web site, the filmmaker told Kennedy that only one member of Congress had a kid fighting in Iraq, which was true: Sen. Tim Johnson, a Democrat from South Dakota. And Kennedy, who says Moore "is a master of the misleading," admits he's never seen Moore's movies or read any of his books. He apparently didn't even know who Moore was when Moore walked up to him.
