So far, this is EXCELLENT! Lots of background on people, maps showing where the cells were, interviews with government people, photos and video of nut-case Mullahs, etc. I recommend that all Freepers try to watch this.
The CIA chief that I reference before, that was stationed in Pakistan during the Soviet/Afghan war, characterized Peshwar Pakistan to the "bar scene" in Star Wars...
Commercial right now.
Well I tried your link and at first got something, then I got a bunch of weird gobbledeygook. :)
I don't think I'll be able to watch this show. Maybe I should have listened to the guy that tried to sell me black market American cable when I first moved here... LOL!
That's what I get for being honest... *sigh*
I'll check back tomorrow on this thread for information.
I heard a commentator explain how the London bombing was as much a turf war as it was terrorism.
I forget exactly, but he said in the disagreement to strike terror on a large scale (bin laden) or constant small localilzed strikes in a particular region or area (Zarqawi)--someone has upped the ante.
It's pretty interesting so far, pretty hard-hitting, too. They're in the middle of their first set of commercials right now, and they have only gotten up to the 1993 WTC bombing.
I totally agree about how good this is...
So far, not exploitative or political...just the facts, and boy am I realizing how little I do know of the history of this...
But, this was made before Able Danger was made known, but it has already pointed to the truth of its problems...
I bet National Geographic will sell CD's of this program. It would be worth buying.
Coincidently, Jimmy Carter became the father of Iraq's WMD program on that day, 9/11/80.
:)
There are days when I miss the U.S. a lot.
And then there are the even harder days. ;)
Thanks for your post.
"this was made before Able Danger was made known, but it has already pointed to the truth of its problems..."
It will be interesting if they were able to delve that deep in the research.
Thanks for the confirmation
Now Ramsi and his friend in Lahore concoct the planes as bombs idea. They find Kalid Sheik Mohammed, the friend's uncle, who thinks it's a good idea.
KSM traveled to china pre 9-11 the program says. why?
And Clinton was playing with cigars while all this was going on.. 7 years of doing nothing, but somehow GWB should have done something after only 8 months in office.. incredible denial, not only by Clinton and cronies but all the stupid libs that can't stand facts.
I hope they do, I know I have family that hasn't kept up with the
information and history of these islamo-facists.
This is a very informative program.
Raising money for jihad.
Atta now.
Now they are discussing Ramzi Youseff's training of bombmakers and makes friends with a guy named Murad, who had just returned from USA ---having taken flight instruction in Texas, New York, and one other city..
NOW, they are discussing using airplanes...this is 1996, I believe..
I missed it last night (thought it was early this week). What happened last night?
