Sorry if this has been posted already, but I haven't seen it here.

Filmmaker Moore Says He Has Footage Of Berg Interview

POSTED: 3:46 pm EDT May 27, 2004
NEW YORK -- Filmmaker Michael Moore, whose incendiary new documentary lambastes President Bush's handling of the war, said Thursday that he has footage unused in the film of Nicholas Berg, the American civilian later beheaded in Iraq.

The footage, of an interview with Berg, "is approximately 20 minutes long. We are not releasing it to the media," Moore said in a statement. "It is not in the film. We are dealing privately with the family."

Neither Moore nor his representatives would describe the nature or contents of the interview with Berg, who held staunch pro-war views.

The 20 minutes of footage does not appear in the final version of "Fahrenheit 911," according to the statement.

2. Getting it to the family seems a wise move
they could pretty effectively sue the DOD or the DOJ, I'd guess.
