Michael Moore Says He's Been Served
United Press International
Thursday 26 July 2007
Burbank, California - Michael Moore said Thursday that the Bush
administration has served him with a subpoena regarding his trip to
Cuba during the making of his new film, "Sicko."
The Oscar-winning filmmaker, who appeared Thursday on NBC's "The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno," said he was notified about the subpoena
at the network's studios in Burbank, Calif.
"I haven't even told my own family yet," Moore said. "I was just
informed when I was back there with Jay that the Bush administration
has now issued a subpoena for me."
Moore filmed the trip as part of his film comparing the U.S.
healthcare system with government healthcare systems in other countries.
He took three Sept. 11, 2001, emergency rescue workers to
Guantanamo Bay "because I heard the al-Qaida terrorists we have in
the camps there, detained, are receiving free dental, medical, eye
care, the whole deal, and our own (Sept. 11) rescue workers can't get
that in New York City."
Moore said the film's distributor, the Weinstein Co., will
donate 11 percent of "Sicko's" box-office receipts Aug. 11 to "help
these workers and the other workers who need help."
