Michael Moore publishes letters from U.S. soldiers in Iraq

I just received an e-mail from good friend and former employer, Warren Wilansky. Warren and the gang at Plank Design do all of Michael Moore's websites.
He sent me the text of the latest Mike's Message.
A small excerpt:
What they are saying to me, often eloquently and in heart-wrenching words, is that they were lied to -- and this war has nothing to do with the security of the United States of America.
Also just made available are 20 letters that U.S. soldiers have sent to Mr. Moore.
There are two basic messages in this: 1- the war in Iraq was/is a sham and 2- things over there right now are far far worse than we are being told.
Please read some of these letters, as well as Mike's Message.
AND, if you are lucky enough to live in a place where, for example, your television service offers European or other non-U.S. news outlets, subscribe to these channels now and see for yourself. (Here in Montreal, Videotron offers "EuroNews" which pulls together video reporting from many european journailsts in Iraq right now. It is frightening frightening stuff they are telling us...)
Oh and blog about this message too... It is important!
On a related note: if you can get your hands on a copy of "Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War", a film in part funded by the MoveOn.org Voter Fund, it is well worth it.

And as Michael Moore dissects the American culture, someone is dissecting Michael Moore:
