I don't think many people younger than us (I am 51) even know about groups like SDS or Weather Underground. But I bet they know about Kent State.

Last night I remarked burn the Mosques first, then close the borders. ACLU would just love me....not.

What impressed you so much about the ending?

The sheer honesty.

THEIR ALLAH IS NOT AKBAR.....Well I think they have found that fact out by now and are wishing they could turn the hands of time back. These evil men are suffering so much.

Thanks Howlin! I'm here, better late than never. I wish I got the National Geographic Chanel, but now I can read this thread.

know..when I heard about Barbara being on one of the planes, I lost it.

I am taking the time to read the posts. I did not have the heart to write down my thoughts at the tiime.

The one decent thing I will give CNN credit for, is that Barbara was booked to appear on a panel discussion that weekend.

They placed an empty chair where she would have been sitting.

Last night, as I tried to go to sleep after watching Part 2, I saw Pope Benedict's face in front of me. I could not get over a feeling of impending disaster in Rome. If UBL's intention was to draw the U.S. into a battle in Afghanistan because he thought he could defeat us there, will he now think the same about confronting Christians head-on?

I hope I am wrong.

It is his intent. He is purely evil and Islam is evil. I will never believe it is a religion of peace. I didn't get to watch any of the NG special, I am sure I would still be shaking, but I am glad that they did not add to or delete what happened those days. Hopefully some of the fence sitters will get off the fence and get on the right side of all of this.

No, she has NOT made her appearance.

And my stepdaughter, at home with a 4 year old and a 2 year old is not the most "pleasant" person to be around right now; we'd avoid her if we could, but it's hard to do since we're helping take care of the two boys.......LOL.

Did anyone see a reference in this show that went something like this?:
http://tks.nationalreview.com/archives/073883.asp

TKS reader Stan recorded the National Geographic special on 9/11, and he transcribed the section that seemed to be referring to Able Danger:

“AT THIS AIR FORCE BASE IN TAMPA (Picture of Entrance Gate to MacDill Air Force Base), MEMBERS OF THE U.S. ARMY SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND ARE REVIEWING AN UNUSUAL CHART THAT REPORTEDLY IDENTIFIES BOTH ATTA (picture ID of Atta shown) AND AL-SHEHHI (picture ID of Al-Shehhi shown) AS LIKELY MEMBERS OF AN AL-QAEDA TERROR CELL OPERATING WITHIN THE U.S. THE OFFICIALS DECIDE THEY CANNOT PASS THIS INFORMATION ALONG TO THE FBI, IN PART BECAUSE THE MEN ARE HOLDING VALID U.S. VISAS AND MAY BE OFF LIMITS FROM INTELLIGENCE GATHERING BY THE MILITARY.” The next segment discussed terrorist training camps in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

That sounds EXACTLY like Able Danger info. Just contemptible and unfathomable thinking went into these decisions.!! I remember hearing a wisp of that in the show .. but they didn't dwell on it or embellish it.

Sakka, I am so angry today. I was so moved by the special on 9/11 last night. It was chilling to see their infinite patience in their effort to destroy us. I am so angry today that so many Americans are asleep or just willingly ignorant. I don't know what to say. We just have to keep talking, reminding, shouting louder than the stupid anti-war crowd - because we are more than they are.

It's the culture of death. Muslims and leftists embrace death and destruction in all its myriad forms.

I heard that too. And at the time, I wanted to know why every passenger in every plane wasn't held for questioning or searched for box cutters.

Can you or someone direct me to the thread from that day?
I think I'd like to go back and read it.

I wasn't able to use FR for weeks. My best friend's firefighter son was in the South Tower.

We all kept vigil at her house until, 9 days later, they found a part of him.

He was with Rescue 3, and of the 9 FF's Rescue 3 lost, the partial remains of only 2 were found.

TIA

That's when I officially joined, instead of lurking.

FR saved me from going insane watching those hanging chads being counted.

It appears that both parts 1 and 2 will be replayed on Aug 26 Fri. Those who missed it should check their local listings.
