And Moore is such a *smooth* editor.  I once got into an argument with 
someone who claimed that Moore had presented Charlton Heston's interview 
in Bowling for Columbine -- the one in which Heston supposedly said 
something "racist" -- without any edits.  But I went back and watched that 
bit on the DVD and, sure enough, there *were* edits there -- but they were 
handled so smoothly that it's very easy to miss them.

(The DVD I have, incidentally, is the screener that was sent to critics 
during awards season.  I believe Moore made one or two minor tweaks to the 
film before it was officially released to DVD, to "fix" certain factual 
errors that had been spotted during the film's theatrical release.  But it 
is the original theatrical version that I have on the screener.)
