Random Michael Moore Deceits [#46]

cut in terrorism funding

"Or maybe Bush was wondering why he had cut terrorism funding from the FBI," Moore says. But as the 9/11 Commission Report also shows, the Bush Administration actually increased funding for counterterrorism in the FBI in its first year in office (before September 11th). Indeed they asked Congress for, and received, "the largest proposed percentage increase in the FBI's counterterrorism program since fiscal year 1997" (http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report.pdf, p. 209). These amounts, of course, only increased further after the September 11th attacks."
