Except that fighters which are screening ships do not move now

The last bit after the "OR" is wrong. A fighter group which is more than
6 
mu away from an ordnance marker may not attack that ordnance marker even
if 
the ordnance marker is attacking a ship the fighter group is screening.

As the rules are currently written, screening status has NOTHING to do
with 
intercepting ordnance.
