Allahpundit’s already comparing the edited and unedited versions of The Path to 9/11: “Path to 9/11” Update: Side-by-side comparison. link: 298 comments "An amazingly well done movie--low key, detailed, well scripted and acted--that will go far in educating the general public as to what happened and why during the 1990's."
"Are there any men left in Washington?"
The Path To 9/11
I'm going to sit down in a few minutes to watch this, but those in time zones further east are already blogging their take;
Austin Bay is watching it too: "I see why Clinton is afraid of it. The movie serves as a reminder of all of the terrorist attacks and attempted attacks. Clinton went eight years and Bush eight months playing cops and robbers while Al Qaeda was implementing unrestricted warfare."Yes, the Democrats have shown their usual instinct for the capillary. While worrying about minor bits, they've missed that the real harm is simply the reminder of the terrorist threat, which they've tried to downplay, but which they've magnified in people's minds by making a stink. Going on the offensive like this just reminds people that they've been downplaying it for over a decade.
If they'd kept their mouths shut, this would be about the terrorists, which would be bad enough. Now it's about the terrorists and the Democrats.

Clinton looks very bad. So does Sandy Berger.

"Even if much was taken out, this was the closest thing to the truth about Clinton and his disregard for our safety that I have ever seen on TV. Period. You are shaking with anger, as am I, because we got perhaps 30% of the truth. I'm guessing that if we got to see 60%, we'd have a stoke."...each of these edits is now preserved as a clip that will circulate through the Internet for an eternity. I think Billy pulled a real boner by protesting so stridently. http://www.redstate.com/911clips
It was Berger [the Happy Democratic Burglar] who for Hillary Clinton let bin Laden go
both from the Sudanese and was he was briefly vulnerable to missile attack.

Secretary of Defense Cohen, Impeached Bill Clinton, Albright, and too-long-accepted CODE-level thief
and accepted-document-destroyer National Security Adviser Sandy Berger,
holding "court" in the Ronald Reagan Building on April 25, 1999.
The Impeached Bill Clinton: "We were all making comments
we shouldn't have about how the meeting was getting very boring.
So finally we decided we had to make like the monkey. Cohen
started this 'hear no evil,' and then I was next so I spoke no evil,
then Madeleine saw no evil, so Sandy Berger said, 'I'm evil.'"

Berger purloined all draft revisions of a key critique of the government's response
to the millennium terrorism threat, a document that detailed Administration knowledge
– and inaction – regarding al Qaeda presence in the U.S. in 1999
and 2000. Stolen were crucial notes in the margins of these drafts
which reveal the thinking and agendas of the
Clinton Administration relating to the mounting terrorist threat.

Hot Air points readers to an
excellent 43-minute documentary by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), hosted by Ron Silver, about the coverage and analysis of 9/11 in the Muslim world. Allahpundit also recommends
this CBS site, which has unedited clips of 9/11 coverage.
"That is when I noticed it. Maybe its a defense mechanism, maybe I was so emotionally drained that I wasn't thinking right. To me this was the strangest thing on a strange day.
It was quiet.... and it hit me: an enemy has attacked the very center of our military command. We are at war."
