"go beyond what has been reported and get a clearer picture of the day that redefined our nation.

"...an exceptionally powerful series..." —Dorothy Rabinowitz, Wall Street Journal

"...a visually compelling sweep of imagery..." —Ned Martel, New York Times

I don't know about that---

They are going WAY back to when Bin Ladin first started out..I think this is just a factual telling of the "story" from start to present, from what I have seen...

However, we the freepers, can weed out the politics..and there could be some stuff that we didn't pay attention to before 9/11, that could be interesting..

BTW, I heard on the radio the other day, that the 9/11 Commission only went back to 1999 in their investigation.

[~Vor~]

I hope I'm not being overly optimistic...

Thanks, I will....:)

[Txsleuth]

I know you were...which was very thoughtful...I am just kidding you about starting a LIVE thread...

When it gets closer to time for the show, if this thread keeps busy, you might ask the Admin. to change the title of the thread...

Of course, knowing FR, about the time you do that, 2-3 others will start LIVE threads....lol

[Txsleuth]

Considering this in on cable, I am sure they didn't "have" to edit it as much as they might on "regular" TV...even though they shouldn't do it at ALL..

I am curious about the timing...why not wait until next month? If they had, they could have added some stuff about Able Danger possibly.

[Txsleuth]

Your thread already has the LIVE THREAD on it...see how prescient you were?

The narration concludes that al-Qaeda has grown from a terror network to a worldwide movement and cites as evidence the bombings since 9-11 in Bali, Spain, London and Egypt.

If that doesn't shake viewers, the final image should. A bin Laden comment from November 2001 fills the screen: "We love death. The U.S. loves life. That is the big difference between us."

Bin Laden you SOB you love death so much....if it takes us 20 years we will track your ass down and kill you...You love death so much...stop hiding in that damn cave and come out and face us like a man..

[A bin Laden comment from November 2001 fills the screen: "We love death. The U.S. loves life. That is the big difference between us."]

Another difference between us is WE have the capability to hunt down and kill each and every last one of these monsters. And we will do so, in due time.

I am curious, too. Dorothy Rabinowitz's recommendation is enough to get me to watch it. The previews have looked interesting.

[DefiantZERO]

I am wary of ANYTHING that gets a good review from the New York Slimes.

[jla]

fyi

[~Vor~]

Scary, isn't it???...LOL

[~Vor~]

I know...but it's also the reason you will be compelled to watch....

[Miss Marple]

I will do so, but fair warning: if this thing turns out to be "it's all Bush and Reagan's fault", I am turning it off.

[Mia T]

bump!

WHY DID BILL CLINTON IGNORE TERRORISM?
Was it simply the constraints of his liberal mindset, or was it something even more threatening to our national security?
