That's like making a movie about the holocaust and saying that Jewish officials were friends with relatives of Hitler when the holocaust began, and then pointing the finger at the Jews saying that they had something to do with it. Rediculous.
Michael Moore is making this movie NOT in memory of 9/11, but as a political statement. That's why Disney decided to not produce this movie because they didn't want to release it before the elections. So yes, he's taking advantage of the people who died on 9/11 for a "documentary" that's completely politically based.

I see no problem with Michael Moore making a film on this topic for these reasons. If you don't like his point of view make a film, write a paper, bitch to your friends, whatever.
His point is to make a political point. He isn't making a memorial to the poeple that died, in his point of view he is trying to correct something in the political system that he sees is wrong and needs correcting. He is shining a light in the dark corners and asking the questions he feels aren't getting asked.
In the end whether you agree with him or not, the man is getting out there and trying to make a difference.
