After suffering more than five years of health problems related to his volunteer work at Ground Zero, Maywood, N.J., resident Bill Maher felt he had nothing to lose joining documentarian Michael Moore on a sneak trip to Cuba for medical treatment, captured on film in the new movie Sicko.
Maher knew he was taking a risk journeying to the communist country with the controversial director, but he didn't think he was breaking any laws.
He was surprised to learn last week that, for violating travel restrictions, he and two other 9/11 responders featured in the picture are under investigation by the Treasury Department, which is building a case against Moore.
"We were traveling for journalistic purposes," said Maher, 54. "I never even thought about any kind of legal restrictions."
Maher believes the government is pursuing the case for political reasons, persecuting Moore because of his leftist views.
