I'm interested in seeing this film for only one reason - it looks like
he obtained some fascinating Iraq war footage that I've never seen
online or from a major news outlet.
 I personally despise Mr. Moore, and I'd rather not line his pockets
by buying his movie.
 Is there another way I could see this footage other than buying or
renting this movie? (I know that renting doesn't directly benefit him,
but I'm always chronically late with movie rentals).

You might check with your local library to see if they've purchased a
copy for lending.

Obviously you could query friends to see if any have purchased a copy
of the newly-issued DVD.

Best regards,

Join Netflix.com.  It's cheap, the money doesn't go to M.M. and they
don't have late fees.
And if you really want a thrill read "The New Pearl Harbor" by David
R. Griffin, hopefully before election day. (I'll send you a copy if
you can't get it through a library)  .. .     :=)

Also, if you get your hands on this film, don't miss the grainy
footage of a public beheading in Saudi Arabia. The Bush family has a
long history of high-end dealings with the Saudi royal family, who
presides over public beheadings every Friday night. So much for
supporting American ethics and democracy. There are plenty of people
who despise MM for whatever reason but the content is certainly worth
exploring (before election day I hope)...

Apologies for not making my question more clear - what I really meant
to ask was this:

  "Are the sources that Mr. Moore got his footage from available to
the general public, or does he have special access"
  
  or,

  "Has anyone else beside Mr. Moore released a DVD of extensive Iraq war footage?"

 FYI, I live in Westchester County, NY

According to Roger Friedman of Fox News, Moore licensed the Iraq
footage from "an Australian documentary filmmaker and artist named
George Gittoes."  Here's a link to the story:

You would be able to see the entire movie from your own computer if
you download it from the internet. Personally I feel that Bearshare is
one of the safest you can use without having any viruses popup. I have
used it for just this type of problem, The Passion of the Christ. It
doesnt take long to set up and you can take it off your computer after
your done if you still dont feel comfortable with it bearshare
installed afterwards. Here is the link to install...
