Michael Scheuer (the guy who wrote Imperial Hubris and is NOT a Bush fan, came out and just ripped Clinton, saying this movie was completely accurate):

"As I have told you, the core of the movie is irrefutably true: the Clinton administration had 10 chances to capture of kill bin Laden. Had the 9/11 Commission not whitewashed events, personal culpability would have been assigned and we as a nation could have moved on to fight al-Qaeda. The Commission turned out to be hack-dominated, however, and ignored the documents that were presented to them, as well as the testimony it received under oath. Instead of telling the American people that the intelligence regarding bin Laden, al-Qaeda and their intentions was abundant, precise, and not acted on, the Commissioners blamed 'the structure of the intelligence community' for the failure and then proceeded to wreck the community with a horrendous reform package.

"The solution is really quite simple, I think. Declassify the documents and testimony of the men and women who risked their lives to collect the intelligence that Clinton and his lieutenants failed to act on. Present this information to the American people -- and perhaps put some of those officers on TV to answer questions -- and then let the chips fall where they may. If the critics of the ABC movie are so confident they are right, they would surely welcome this process."
