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.

I agree CC. It looked to me like they were going to cover a lot of the perps and the CIA/FBI attempts to find them, but didn't see a lot about the Administration in the scenes from tomorrow night.

We don't have nightline in St. Lou. Apparently, all we have here is endless commercials.

[varina davis]

Considering the usual bias of the MSM, I think ABC did a very creditable job of skewering Clinton and Co. Sure brought back a lot of bad memories and frustrations about Clinton, Albright, Berger, Reno and the rest of those spineless wonders.

Glad to learn you are home for a while. Remember this, you have no better FRiends anywhere on earth than those of us here. I salute you, and I thank you for your service from the bottom of my heart.

Ditto from this right winger from the Left Coast.

This was NOT pleasant for the Dems. Not pleasant at all.

No. But it was the truth: bin Laden was at war with us...and the Clinton administration did nothing.

Undeniable, inescapable fact. No "edit" can change that fact.

[fatima]

It was 2 hours and 45 minutes.

[cripplecreek]

I've already turned to FOX sunday filler. I have no use for ABC pseudonews.

[Arizona Carolyn]

But by then Louis Freeh hated Clinton and they hadn't talked for several years and Freeh didn't trust him or his hacks and was waiting for a new administration before he retired. Remember he went around Clinton to Bush 41 for help with the Saudi's over the Kobar Towers because he ws blocked by Berger.

At DU, they don't even want to admit to terrorism. They call it "terra," making fun of Bush, and they're sick of it.

It's very distracting. Can't have Utopia with "terra."

Cynthia McFadden is on telling us this film was fictionalized

Oh .. now Brain Ross is on saying how Bin Laden hasn't been caught yet

Bite me Nightline

[Phibes]

Don't worry, I will be watching. I thought this was pretty good so far.

[alwaysconservative]

I hope you're right. (Gotta get to bed now.)

[amutr22]

And why do news outlets say this did not happen?

http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/09/08/review.television.911.reut/index.html

i.e: The most negative chatter and consternation has been leveled at a scene during Part 1 of "Path to 9/11" that finds bin Laden surrounded by Northern Alliance and U.S. troops in Afghanistan in 1998. They were waiting for the final go-ahead to snatch their quarry. But it never comes. We see Clinton administration figures wussing out over fear of fallout should things go wrong, and the president too enmeshed in the Monica Lewinsky scandal to care. It's agreed that this specific event never actually took place. As ABC said in its statement, "for dramatic and narrative purposes, the movie contains fictionalized scenes, composite and representative characters and dialogue."

[elkfersupper]

You're joking, right?

I wish I were.

[SuziQ]

Oooh... did not know about the dagger.

I didn't either. Isn't it interesting how bin Laden manipulated the press into helping him contact the cells to do his dirty work?

[Pyro7480]

The show made it look like that incident happened around the time of the millenium.

[isthisnickcool]

Now, for the Democratic response, here is NIGHTLINE.

[Mo1]

Can't say I am surprised at this BS

[PghBaldy]

I think it was just a neat way to end it for the night. I HOPE they didn't skip from 1/1/2000 to 9/11/2001. They can't. It's just a device. They'll go back in time for Mond night.

[Rte66]

Have you had any BlueBell yet?

I'm on my way to the fridge for mine! Cheers!
