No he was not. The movie showed his gutlessness and mendacity very well. Not only was the cut scene unnecessary but I would not be surprised to find the writer put a few extras in so when the predictable squawks were heard he could remove a bit just to be able to say he responded to the critics.
The movie was awesome and devastating to the Clintons, the CIA and the FBI. Even adding Somolia and Gorelick would just have been piling on. Like passing for a touchdown while ahead by 40 points in the last two minutes of a football game.
I am astonished that ABC allowed something like this to be produced and shown. And the network covered the costs. Amazing.
He certainly was more incompetent than portrayed. Merely naysaying the premise is not an argument. You need better information. If you think the cut scene was unnecessary, that's great, but the writer of the film thought it was necessary to put it in there in the first place, and I'll stick with him.
Your premise is what, the version shown in the U.S. was the most effective form the film could possibly taken? Ridiculous.
Have you seen the scenes in their uncut form?
