WIll US Soldiers get to see Fahrenheit 9/11?

Just in case anti-Bush documentary  "Fahrenheit 9/11" needed any more controversy to fuel its hot  box office, a new war of words broke out on Friday over whether  the U.S. Army is stonewalling efforts to book the film at  military bases. But the organization that orders films for the 160 base  theaters countered that it was the distributors -- Fellowship  Adventure Group, IFC Films and Lions Gate Films -- that had the  problem and noted they plan to stock base stores with the  film's DVDs when they are released. The movie, made by Oscar-winning director Michael Moore,  has grossed over $113 million at domestic box offices and such  a blockbuster would be routinely, and quickly, ordered up by  the military.[more ]
