I have been gone for two days, on a trip. The night before last,
I saw "hardball". The "Tweety Replacement" was saying that the Bush administration forbade their staff to go see Fahrenheit 9/11? The people being "interviewed" thought that was ridiculous... any truth to that?

1. I can't imagine that being true. The Bush administration doesn't
support censorhip.

2. Can't confirm this but I think I saw a post about this the
other day. Maybe someone else will come in and answer this better than I. It wouldn't surprise me though.

3. found the transcript myself:
BROWN: Real quick—we‘re almost out of time—but how—how—given how the Bush administration is reacting to the 9/11 film, which is, you know, banning their staffs from going to see it or anybody...

HITCHENS: What?

BROWN: I know. Is it the right approach?

HITCHENS: I didn‘t know that.

But, if so, then it would be something to add to my long list of misgivings about the Bush administration.

THOMASON: And that will jump their grosses up.

HITCHENS: You can‘t fight—I say in my piece, you can‘t fight one kind of stupidity and cowardice with another. It‘s silly to try.

BROWN: All right, we‘ve got to go. I want to thank you both for joining us, Harry Thomason and Christopher Hitchens.
