I also heard Rush Limbaugh say that the Bush administration isn't let off the hook in the film.

That's what I've heard as well.

"...the New York Times has seen it and pronounced it evenhanded."

That makes me wonder...

I think the wrangling over the content of the film is a side show.

If anyone wants to know what can be best ascertained as to what really happened, all they have to do is pick up a copy of the 9/11 Commission report. Most book stores have them and they aren't expensive at all.

It clearly illustrates the inability of those in the Clinton administration to make a collective choice to take action on Usama, and more importantly to get all the players on the the same team. Too many chiefs were making independent decisions that confounded any real efforts by those who clearly saw the threat. What it all boils down to is a serious lack of leadership among the the white house staff.

Of course, looking at it in hindsight is a lot easier. If they had a crystal ball that told them what Usama would eventually do, I'm sure they would have done things differently.

I truly am not a Clinton defender, however, his administration suffered from some of the same things even the Bush administration does, and that is fear of the consequences from rattling cages.

When you prefer the stats quo, with all it's problems out of fear of consequences for solving them, that's what everyone has to live with. The problem with that is that status quo has consequences of its own.

In short, it takes a pair to solve difficult problems. And because it's difficult to solve them, people usually do something else instead.

I think the 911 Commission should be renamed the Deep Six Commission.

Which tells me that a) they're playing defense for the sake of Clinton's legacy...

This "Bush is a liar!" stuff all started as an attempt to establish moral equivalency and salvage Clinton's reputation - it didn't take on a life of its own until later. I'm still not sure how this one man has managed to keep the entire Democratic Party apparatus working to spin things on his behalf so long after he has left office. No Republican was worried about Richard Nixon's reputation in 1980.

This is impeachable what the dems are doing. The issue goes far beyond democrat vs republican. This is a first amendment issue.

I've been follwing this interesting thread

The Democrats are in a complete panic and their heads are exploding. Leftists only act that way when they are exposed or about to be exposed in all their corrupt glory.

If this TV event were not a threat to the Dems and Clinton's legacy, they would not be acting the way they are.

Where there's smoke there's fire.
