Michael Moore insists Osama Bin Laden’s killings ‘execution and assassination’
Michael Moore on Bin Laden’s killings: ‘We’ve Lost Something of Our Soul’
Filmmaker Michael Moore has openly condemned the recent killings of terrorist Osama Bin Laden, claiming that the Al-Qaeda Leader was both ‘executed and assassinated’ by the U.S. government.
The creator of “Fahrenheit 911” appeared on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” reiterating that the Bin Laden killing was an act of assassination. He underscored during his interview with Piers Morgan that while he did not disagree in the death of Bin Laden, he maintained that the brains behind the September-11 attacks of the World Trade Center could have been ‘given his day in court’.
Moore emphasizing that as an American citizen with faith in American justice system, the filmmaker noted that he had wanted Osama Bin Laden to have stood trial.
“We’ve lost something of our soul here in this country,” Moore was quoted arguing during his interview on “Piers Morgan Tonight” by CNN.
He added: “Maybe I’m just an old-school American who believes in our judicial system,”
The Academy Award winning director who won Oscar for Best Documentary in 2003 for “Bowling for Columbine”, has clearly appeared not on the same page with President Barack Obama, whom he had also maintained he ‘has a lot of faith” in before the killings.
But the staunch critic of former President George Bush and whom was the focus of his Oscar winning documentary, is now calling on the Obama administration ‘to come clean and tell the American people” what really happened in Abbottabad.
Moore who had earned 15 thousand followers in less than after the White House announcement of Bin Laden killings has also been under firestorm of arguments defending his position on the terrorist leader.
