Reading through the article, it seems that the entire thing more or less just says that Moore is wrong. If I'm reading it right though, in the entire thing, there is only one paragraph where he takes offense to one sentence in the movie. The comment on no Iraqi has killed an American. The author then goes on to mention that there were indeed terrorists in Iraq. Fine, that point may be valid. Moore exaggerated somewhat.

Hitchens claims the movie says Iraq under Saddam never attacked or killed an American citizen. This is incorrect, as the addendum to the rebuttal points out. The movie stated that Saddam never threatened
America. A small point, perhaps, but,
according to the rebuttal, the only discreet "fact" Hitchens seems to successfully call on the film. As it turns out, the film is correct in its assertion. Saddam never publicly aired any threat against America, although his regime may have been responsible for the deaths of American citizens.
