Moore's rebuttal: ¡Viva WikiLeaks! SiCKO Was Not Banned in Cuba

[archerships]

Sounds convincing, eh?! There's only one problem -- 'Sicko' had just been playing in Cuban theaters. Then the entire nation of Cuba was shown the film on national television on April 25, 2008! The Cubans embraced the film so much so it became one of those rare American movies that received a theatrical distribution in Cuba. I personally ensured that a 35mm print got to the Film Institute in Havana. Screenings of 'Sicko' were set up in towns all across the country.

i just saw that.

i was wondering he only focused on one part of the cable and not the others. i didn't see an answer to the charge he used an elite hospital as an example of routine cuban care nor say anything on VIPs routinely leaving the country for their care.
