I didn't hear if anyone was planning for a live thread of the film tonight. Just in case anyone wants to start early. Some in Australia already have seen part 1. Part 1 airs tonight at 8pm Eastern Time on ABC.
You got that right. And they keep changing them.
CNN MONEYLINE NEWS HOUR WITH LOU DOBBS August 20, 1998; Thursday 6:30 pm Eastern Time
DOBBS:
Today's attack was also based in part on information provided by Mohammed Saddiq Odeh. Odeh is a suspect in the Kenyan bombing. He was captured in Pakistan while trying to win entry into Afghanistan. Odeh told Pakistani officials he was involved in the embassy bombings, and was affiliated with Osama bin Laden.
Journalist Kasra Naji is in Pakistan and joins me now by phone from Islamabad -- Kasra.
KASRA NAJI, JOURNALIST (by telephone): Yes, Lou, from inside Afghanistan, early reactions from the Taliban have given sanctuary to Osama bin Laden are angry and defiant in a sense, and early indications are, in fact, that the man may have escaped unhurt. Mullah Mohammed Omar, the spiritual leader of the Taliban is reported to have strongly condemned the U.S. bombings and speaking from Qandahar, the southern Afghan city of Qandahar where he is based he spoke to an Afghan news agency. He said that Osama bin Laden had in fact been moved to a safe place before the bombings and that he was unhurt. Omar, who is the top leader of the Taliban, also said the U.S. bombings were not aimed at Osama bin Laden rather they were directed at Afghan people and they showed amnity towards the people of Afghanistan.
He definitely added that the Taliban would never hand over bin Laden. He says we will protect him with our blood at any cost -- he is reported to have said. So a defiant reaction from him, the top leader of the Taliban. The attacks came at about 10:00 local time in the evening, and when most of Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban is under curfew, it is -- I think it's about 4:30 in the morning local time in Afghanistan, and I think it is too early to get any good indication of, you know, the extent of the damage to the base. And you know, what has actually happened. But also, let me add that the attacks did not come as a complete surprise, because for days both in Pakistan and Afghanistan, people expected such an attack in a sense because -- and on Wednesday, when the State Department issued a statement calling on international aid agencies to pull out their international staff because of a serious threat to them, these rumors, the rumors that the United States would attack gained strength.
DOBBS: Kasra, I have to interrupt you. Thank you and I appreciate you continuing to follow that story and of course tomorrow at daylight we will have better assessments from you. Kasra Naji, from Islamabad, thank you very much.
You have just heard the statement -- the report from Pakistan that Osama bin Laden is safe. His voice has been heard and the head of your organization, Islamic Taliban says they will hold him onto themselves until death.
No, Root is playing Richard Clarke.
Remember the diversity quilt thing?
Think they weill cut 20 minutes out of tomorrow's show???
I don't know who the "Kirk" guy is ....but, dang, did he go through hell already!!
***According to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Clarke gave the final okay for the members of the bin Laden family living in the United States to fly to Saudi Arabia on September 14, 2001. ***
Now, THAT'S a fascinating bit of information that I hadn't heard about.
"one of the highjackers was connected to the USS cole bombing..."
Ramzi bin al-Shibh was in Yemen at that time and is believed to have taken part in the Cole operation.
Is it over? Two hours and forty-five minutes.
It looks like tomorrow night is still going to have a bunch on the CLinton years.
From the preview of tomorrow it doesn't look like they're done with the Toon by a long shot.
[The writer said that was one of his main criticisms and was a major thread in the film. Probably 15 minutes, maybe more, got cut on the Cole.]
The cut of the Cole is so obvious. I'm surprised, that was a huge terrorist event. Was it one of Clinton's main criticism's? Did Clinton want that cut?
That's without commercials
"do the laundry and fold the dishes!"
LOL!
Not yet. Of course one of the end results was the WTC attack.
I am referring to the portrayal of Clinton in this movie. Clinton is not being part of the decisionmaking process, but we know he was. We can trace decisions to Clinton, but the implication is that he was so involved with the Monica case that he couldn't devote the time necessary to get Osama. Yet, Clinton is claiming continually that he was almost obsessed with getting Osama and decided to launch the missile attack against UBL in Afghanistan.
Hopefully.... the start of an Avalanche.
Ok please I just got one and I'm dying. I see they did skip the Cole. I think they did paint a true picture of the Horses Ass Clinton Administration. How did I sleep at night knowing these bastards were at the helm? I did not know that Maddi Halfbright advised Pakistan about the Missile attack. Great Job! I hope tomorrow is not a Bush basing two hours.
