ABSTRACT - Frank Rich article on Michael Moore's
documentary Fahrenheit 9/11; says material used by Moore on some events in Iraq,
such as abuse of prisoners, was available to news organizations months ago but
media chose not to use it; says Moore is being selective in what he chooses to
include in his moive; he is a polemicist, not journalist; but he implicitly
raises issue that much of what we have seen elsewhere during this war, often
under label of 'news,' has been just as subjectively edited; holds perhaps most
damning sequence in documentary is one showing American troops as they ridicule
hooded detainees in holding pen near Samara, Iraq, in December 2003; photos (M)
Correction: January 2, 2005, Sunday
An article on Oct.
30 about a videotaped message from Osama bin Laden in which he told the United
States that it could avoid a repetition of the 9/11 attacks if it stopped
threatening Muslims' security referred incorrectly to material being read in a
Florida classroom where President Bush was visiting when he learned of the
attacks. (The error also appeared in earlier articles, starting on May 23.) The
reading was a story -- not a book -- and it was titled ''The Pet Goat,'' not
''My Pet Goat.'' A reader telephoned last week to point out the error.
