I thought he made some pretty bold statements in the film, and I never felt like it was a "connect-the-dots" process. He was pretty straight forward with facts, which you say are complete lies, thereby making him accountable for what he is saying which makes him a target for slander charges. Trust me, I've gone over this film extensivly in 2 classes (college summer classes) and looked at it from all views (a reason why I haven't taken part of the discussion because I got burnt out on it from class). If MM was telling complete lies, the Bush Administration wouldn't have just sat around. I see a lot of publications coming out from random sources with no credibility supporting BOTH sides of the controversy, but they still only twisted things so it would fit their side perfectly, something I will admit MM did in his opinionated documentary. However, no true rebuttal has come from credible sources, and until then, I beleive there must be some truth in what MM is saying... but take it with a grain of salt, like you have to do with any politician or anyone trying to argue politics. That is just my view on it
