Michael Moore denies owning Halliburton!

But author who made charge answers tax returns don't lie

In a nationally televised speech, filmmaker Michael Moore told a college audience he absolutely does not own any Halliburton stock � or any other stock for that matter � a charge leveled at him by author Peter Schweizer in the best-seller book "Do As I Say (Not As I Do)."

There's just one problem with that denial, says Schweizer. He's got the tax returns of Moore's non-profit foundation to prove it � a non-profit foundation for which there are only two officers, Moore and his wife.

Moore's loophole may be that the stock is actually owned by his non-profit foundation � not him personally. However, Moore signed the return personally and controls the activity of the corporation.
