He's back! (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6672515.stm)

I have mixed feelings about him, although ultimately I'm glad he brings these issues to the forefront. I look forward to seeing the debate unfold over the coming months.

See, that's what I like about Moore. Whether you agree or disagree with his docs and rants, he does at least spark debate on issues that deserve debate.

He triggers debates but does so in such an emotive way that the facts get buried under the rhetoric.

In my most paranoid moments I do wonder whether he's some sort of establishment plant. ;)

I have mixed feelings about him. Hes not quite as smart or interesting as Mark Thomas but he does have some things to say that are worth listening to

I will whole heartedly agree with that. Mark Thomas is a hero of mine. Michael Moore is as close as America would ever get to Mark (which isn't very close).

It's a tremendous shame that Mark Thomas' show was stopped a few years ago; the episode where he got the Indonesian military to admit to torture (something which the UN couldn't do) was something to beheld, as were the kids who had a head honcho from Nike floundering in an 'in class' Q&A session.

The Saddam hot air balloon over Menwith Hill was wonderful.

"Land of the Free" eh? Except if you go and film in sinister little Cuba of course ;)

I'll be looking forwards to seeing this - it should be Moore back on form, dealing with the everyday domestic injustice that he tackles best. And it's about time someone tackled the appalling American healthcare 'system', if you can call it one!
