O'Neill replies: "So it's OK if somebody kills bin Laden, as long as he didn't give the order. It's pathetic." Is it just me, or does that sound WORSE than saying he's preoccupied with impeachment?

I'm watching this CA time. Edited or not, it's pretty damning to the Clinton admin.

At a time when we were being attacked , he ate pizza,played golf and left a lot of folks waiting for some leadership to show up. Pass the buck was the order of the day at the top.

No--it's not just you! The original reference to the Republicans would have deflected a lot of anger in their direction; the edited version points it full bore at Clinton!

I thought that line was particularly damning! ABC may have made some edits, but the overall picture from tonight's show is that the Clinton Administration screwed up royally in the run up to 9/11. ABC might put some digs in there about the Bush Administration in tomorrow's show, but with the timeline being what it is, people will SEE that the 8 months the Bush Administration had was NOTHING compared to the previous 8 yrs. of the Clinton administration.

It does sound worse.
Also, with the omission of the impeachment factor, but with the reminder of Lewinsky in the film, it comes across as though SHE'S what clinton was preoccupied with, nothing more.
O'Neill replies: "So it's OK if somebody kills bin Laden, as long as he didn't give the order. It's pathetic" was a killer line!
To: Howlin
Not just you.
Leaving out "The Republicans" actually helped us more and Clinton less. The way it aired, the viewer is left with "That's pathetic" and sees that Clinton avoided any responsibility. The original makes it the fault of "the Republicans."
Leaving out the night scene was not a big deal either, IMO. We see the NA sneaking up on OBL. We see the frustration of trying to get a *go* order. We hear Masood saying there are no men left in Washington. Even if it was just a rhetorical question, the viewer takes away the thought of squishy wimps in charge of our security.
