NEW YORK - "The Path to 9/11" will break your heart. It will leave you unnerved, even more than before. And angrier than ever. A five-hour miniseries that dramatizes a decade's worth of events leading up to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, this film is plenty gripping. It doesn't forgo artistry for polemics.
Even so, it drives home, step by step, a message any viewer can understand: The people in charge of keeping you safe failed the nation monumentally. Systemically. Shamefully. And continue to, five years after what should have been a terribly sufficient wake-up call.
Then "The Path to 9/11" leaves the viewer with a chilling coda: a recap of the "report card" issued last December by the 9/11 Commission, which accused the government of failing to protect the nation against another attack, and assigned failing grades in five areas, with a dozen Ds and just one A (actually, A-minus).

When the book first came out...
I'll NEVER FORGET having the blessed opportunity to talk to this 'LOSING bin LADEN' author on national talk radio.
We talked about those infamous 3 free offers from the Sudan during the 1990's to give us our No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN on a Silver Platter that the CLINTONS had purposely REFUSED.
For after all...
...it's all simply a matter to ...NEVER FORGET..???

Potlatch's "Film at 11!"
Sorry devolve, don't know if it will be ready but I'll try. It is after your time limit now, lol, and it is a different topic.
You will see it first.
Thanks, bitt!
And, thank you, devolve and potlatch, for all of your pings.
I'm trying to produce a resemblance of being up to speed.
I isn't happening just yet. ;o)
However, I just finished watching the trailers for "Path to 911".
I don't know if I can watch it.
It made me angry, and that's an emotion I don't need right now.
If I watch, and the trailers have been edited, I will be even more angry.
It was interesting to see that Clinton is portrayed by himself.
[It made me angry, and that's an emotion I don't need right now.]
I avoid some of the news for that reason too DC.
Good to see you and hope all is well with you. Thanks for writing!

...is most understood.
Thank you. ;o)
It's very good to see you, too. ;o)
I'm off to bed.
Nitey nite.
She had been in charge of the NSA for seven months....pales in comparison to the Klintonoids eight years.
Remember, the Bush director for the FBI was confirmed 9-10-01. There is little blame to be put on people with such a short time in office.

Thank you for your kindness, my Fellow FReeper, and for your LOVE of FReedom.
