My take on the Brokaw comment was a little different. He was commenting on watching "F-9/11" and how the reaction, including his, was to do something. Since people were watching this w/ the benefit of hindsight, that's a pretty reasonable reaction. You're watching a movie where you know the ending so you naturally root for the good guy to act quicker than he actually does. Brokaw's tone was not critical. Also, he was critical of Moore and the film and noted the wrong facts and distortions of the movie.

I think you're correct. As I understand it, 7 minutes of F9/11 is nothing but watching Bush sit in the classroom. 7 minutes in a movie is an eternity, Moore intended it to make the audience feel uncomfortable & edgy. A cheap shot (like all of them) on Moore's part, but Brokaw is apparently just acknowledging that it's effective.

You're missing my point. I understand that Brokaw MAY not have been critical. I'm talking about what he (Brokaw) says that HE would have said to those kids ... that "America is under attack"
