WASHINGTON (AP) - To Sen. Tom Harkin, Michael Moore's documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11" is an "unvarnished presentation" of facts surrounding the worst terror attack ever on U.S. soil.
Republicans take fierce issue with the movie's premise that President Bush was inattentive to the threat of terrorism. But few - if any - GOP figures were there Wednesday night for the movie's premiere at the stately Uptown Theater.
Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe came, relished the movie and said he thought it would gain traction in this election year.
"This movie raises a lot of the issues that Americans are talking about, that George Bush has been asleep at the switch since he's been president," McAuliffe said as he walked the red carpet into the premiere.
