"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

Darn, I'm sorry I missed it. I think I'll go over to the channel's website and see if they're going to rebroadcast.

[mware]

There were at least twice when we felt sure the group being discussed was ABLE DANGER.

A couple of the facts were exactly what the Lt. Col has claimed on tv/radio and print media.

[mware]

I think they are rebroadcasting. I think someone said 7 EST. followed by Part 2.

[mewzilla]

Thanks! Yes, they are. I'll be sure to take notes :)

[mewzilla]

And it would all be over if the committee could consult its verbatim transcripts of the testimony that was provided it. But they can't do that, can they?

Unbefreakinglievable.

[Miss Marple]

CIA, I believe. (I may be wrong about this, as the documentary moves VERY fast.)

They then go on to explain the incident where they had bin Laden in the cross-hairs but he was with a Crown Prince of the UAE, so they didn't do anything because of the possibility of killing the prince.

The report airs repeated instances where there was a lot of talk from Clinton, and then he would call off an attack (swiing set by a camp indicated children present, so no bombing, the prince, etc. etc.).

The only thing it said about Bush was that the August 8 PDF said that there was a likelihood of hijackings, and that the administration felt it had no new information (which despite what we now know being shown on this special, was true).

On the other hand, we saw a shot of Clinton with Monica (the famed beret on the rope line clip) and they discussed both Impeachment and the Wag the Dog scenario.

This is an excellent documentary, so far. I learned lots of stuff I didn't know, plus they give lots of details on the relationships between the terrorists, how they lived, etc. I will be buying this CD for an historical record.

And someone should send a copy to every democrat in Congress.

[mware]

There is sure to be another thread. Hopefully it will start at 7 EST so we have both parts on one thread. We might be able to get additional facts we missed the first time through.

If you don't get NG channel. Find a friend who does and watch it

a big bttt!

They then go on to explain the incident where they had bin Laden in the cross-hairs but he was with a Crown Prince of the UAE, so they didn't do anything because of the possibility of killing the prince.

I don't know if this was a fact that we just found out, but Fox & Friends talked about it this morning.

[Jeff Head]

Freedom of speech was not taken away. ABC showed its true colors and made a decision, for all the world to see, indicating which side of this coin their company is on in this...which we already knew anyhow.

But Michael Graham's freedom to say what he wants about Islam is still intact. He can do it all he wants and hopefully some other comapny will give him a wider audience to do so.

Just a thought.

[Miss Marple]

I knew there was a prince, but I didn't know it was a Crown Prince of the UAE. UAE has usually been friendly to the US.

One thing this special does is make me suspicious of everyone here from the Middle East. The degree of deception practiced by these guys is truly frightening.

[mewzilla]

Thanks for the info, Miss M!

CIA, I believe

Note to the doc's producers: Yup, now there's an unimpeachable source. Snort.

We'll have the answer to 9-11 when someone finds out just why Bubba refused to harm a hair on ULB's psychotic head or do anything substantive about al Qaeda.

[mware]

Miss, the part about the swing set gets me sick to my stomach.

[sono]

They mentioned the Prince but he wasn't Saudi but from the UAE. Small detail ... as "Anonymous" Michael Scheuer said, " it's not like they don't have enough Arab princes."

[sono]

You forgot Jihad Johnny Lind ...

[TexasCajun]

I'd have to say Part-1 confirmed Slick had OBL in his sights but vetoed the mission because OBL was entertaining financial donors.

Pretty much confirmed that there were many opportunities to derail the 911 attack but Slick's Know-Nothing Do-Nothing Administration was focused on impeachment and hiding Chinese cash.

Overall, I'd give it a B or B+

[sono]

These orders were probably electronic, made by OBL and his agents ... Failure to discover and shut down the money spigots is thus far the biggest failure of the WOT ...

[mware]

Part two is going to be the hard part to watch and listen too. I suspect they will have audio we have not heard before.

FReepers lost two of our own.

THE BALLAD OF MIKE MORAN, AKA The Fireman Song



I am Irish and was proud to serve with other firemen
Who gave their lives for us that day, each one of them a friend
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass



They’re the bravest men I’ve known…and I'll miss them everyday
I will keep them in my heart so they're never far away
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass
You'll pay the price, but first you’ll kiss my royal Irish ass



Never thinking of their safety, only saving other lives
They never made it home to see their daughters, sons, or wives
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass



They’re the bravest men I’ve known…and I'll miss them everyday
I will keep them in my heart so they're never far away
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass
You'll pay the price, but first you’ll kiss my royal Irish ass



Try to take our freedom and you've made a big mistake
The spirit of America you're never going to break
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass



They’re the bravest men I’ve known…and I'll miss them everyday
I will keep them in my heart so they're never far away
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass
You'll pay the price, but first you’ll kiss my royal Irish ass!
