I didn't know if there was a west coast version of this thread. It didn't make sense to post on a show that was almost over on the East Coast.

I also think the early scene with the terrorist scared of the interogation was good, it showed him as weak.

Several people have commented on this scene, so I'm going to use yours to post my comments.

I didn't take this scene as him being afraid of being tortured by Americans. He was brought back to the United States from Egypt, and I thought he was having flashbacks of his interrogation in Egypt. That's why he's cooperative with the Americans, because the torture stopped.

Having read "See No Evil" by Robert Baer, I know of what you speak. Mr. Baer is, I think, a contributor on MSNBC now. He was a CIA agent for years, gifted, Arabic speaker, very valuable asset all over the Middle East, even the Beka Valley, a tough spot for Western agents. He was called back to Washington and accused of attempted murder because he was helping Jalal Talabani with a plan to assinate Saddam in 1995. It took 4 years for him to be cleared. He quit the CIA. It had become a "political support group" rather than an "intelligence gathering organization". We lost an important source of "human intelligence" because Clinton cut the budget of the CIA 65% and turned agents into his political flunkies.

Who was Amy Madigan playing by the way? There was a female intelligence person who was yelling about how "we had him",etc., but I don't know who she was supposed to be.

I thought we turned down Osama when he was in Sudan, not Afghanistan. Even with artistic license, I think that's a major factual blunder.

No, they had more than one chance to catch him. The Sudan and Northern Alliance chances are just the best-known.

Yeah, Legend Has It ;-) that they had 8 opportunities to capture or kill Osama prior to 2001. 6 of them are fairly well documented by multiple sources, two of them are in the the 'weeelll, maybe' category if I'm remembering correctly.

Regarding your assertion that Clinton is being criticized unfairly because the first World Trade Center bombing was one month after his inauguration, nobody is blaming Clinton FOR the bombing happening. Instead, Clinton is criticized for not retaliating for the 1993 bombing. On the other hand, Bush retaliated (and that's an understatement!) after the first terrorist attack of his presidency.

Hillary in office would not be allowed to do as much damage as Rudy would. I see no difference between the two. Rudy handled the situation he was dealt and he did it brilliantly, that doesn't make him ideal to lead a party or the country. Other than being tough on crime, Rudy is a Liberal.

So critics of mild physical means of extracting information as a last resort in crunch time scenarios when an attack is impending, they're either a terrible hypocrit, or do not value human life. It's that simple.

Well. . .there you have it - nailed. . .

The hypocritical nutshell of Liberals who arrogantly imagine they own the moral 'highground' while they never set foot on it; and who are in truth; anti-humanitarian. An observation easily confirmed by their demonstrated contempt for 'innocent life' and contempt for those who aspire to the 'humanitarian' by living a 'reasoned and moral' life. .. .

The non-exclusive Humanitarian virtue these Libs ascribe to themselves, is rather, an virtue-less, exclusive, self-serving empathy; reserved only for those who resonate to their idiological, Liberal MO of hate. They 'care' for this enemy; who hates all who do not share his world view. They empathize with this enemy; who shares their contempt for all who ascribe to an authentic morality.

[So. . .while the self-congratulatory Libs, fight for and defend; and ignore the pain and suffering of an abortion and/or partial birth abortion - amoral medical solutions. . .convenient genocides; they come to tears defending the terrorist; whose will to life, is similarly framed by an inferior 'anti-principle'; which allows that all who do not share their fundamentalist/Islamic world view; (or who are just innocent and inconvenient to that view). . .deserve to die. . .

. . . alone. . .en masse and/or, by an enhanced mission of genocide.]

It's called a "Freudian slip".

Well it is. ..but not exactly or at least 'precisely' where I was going. . .

FS. . .saying one thing. . .meaning another as opposed - but again. . .not exactly -'opposed' - to just the constant - uncontainable 'self-revelation' that manifests by our style'; our every activity and conversation; choice of words et al - some of which may be 'slips'; while others are just embedded with our 'truth'. . ..as per Freud. .

The more we hide a truth we are uncommfortable with. . .the more that 'truth' will reveal itself; whether by Freudian slip or other verbal;/ non-verbal opportunites for our 'give away' . . .

Think a word-smithing book could be written on behalf of both Clintons. . .who had and continue to have - so much to hide, and so as 'out front' public figures; and without their realizing. . . .their conversational choices are a trove of the self-revelatory.

"They did portray "the Burglar" pretty realistically, didn't they? LOL. I think all of us agree with your "friend's wife"."

They certainly did. I wanted to smack the crap out of his character. It shown that the vast majority of klintoons administration were in over their head, not equipped to handle the "payback" jobs they were given, and cowards ALL!

More than that, the terrorists were busy, active, determined. The Clintonoids were confused, indecisive, defensive.

Yes, and the comparison of focus and lack of focus is pronounced; as is the different realities we share. . .the 'reality' that screams. . .'threat'. . .and the reality, too many Americans and Europeans share, that screams. . . 'denial'.

HOW MANY EXPERTS WOULD YOU THINK, CLINTON CAN PULL OUT OF HIS HAT?
Well, a quick call to Harvard, Yale, Columbia, etc. etc. etc. should yield oh, about 50-100 'experts' who've never worn a uniform or ever had to really earn a living, but they'll all 'set the record straight' for Comrades Bubba and Lesbian-Bubba.

LOL. . because it is the truth. . ..

Seeing a fine 'cartoon'/visual, on this question. . .
