Wikileaks: US Pressured NZ To Nix "Fahrenheit 9/11"
Twice within four days, my name has popped up in the Bush-era secret cables uncovered by WikiLeaks. Lucky me.

Manhattan Democratic Reps. Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney ripped the move as “immoral” and “truly sad.” “I was a registered Republican. I have no idea what I am now,” said Ray Simons, 60, a retired FDNY ambulance worker who said he’s ill from two weeks at The Pile. “For senators to turn this down, it’s like, oh, my God, it’s the ultimate betrayal.”
