US intervened in Michael Moore NZ screening

I know Michael Moore divides opinions here on ATS, but I found this an interesting story in the Cables.

After a leaked cable from US diplomats in Havana falsely claimed Cuba had banned Moore's documentary Sicko – when in fact it was shown on state television – another cable reveals US officials flying into a panic after hearing a rumour that a New Zealand cabinet minister was hosting a screening of Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11.

Why would the Bush administration be concerned about a viewing of Fahreneit 9/11, when you are free to watch the film in both the US and New Zealand.
