tinfoil alert...Moore 'interviewed Berg'

Filmmaker Michael Moore, whose incendiary new documentary lambasts President George W Bush's handling of the war, said today that he has footage unused in the film of Nicholas Berg, the American civilian later beheaded in Iraq.

The footage of an interview with Berg "is approximately 20 minutes long. We are not releasing it to the media," Moore said in a statement. "It is not in the film. We are dealing privately with the family."

Neither Moore nor his representatives would describe the nature or contents of the interview with Berg, who held staunch pro-war views.

No one answered the phone today at the home of Berg's parents in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Fahrenheit 9/11, which recently won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, accuses the Bush camp of stealing the 2000 election, overlooking terrorism warnings before September 11, 2001, and fanning fears of more attacks to secure American support for the Iraq war.

Disney has refused to let subsidiary Miramax release Fahrenheit 9/11. Moore is still trying to work out a deal for US distribution.

4. I say that like I think having discussions consolidated to fewer threads

helps minimize the amount that people repeat the same points over and over, not knowing whether they've already been made or not elsewhere.
