I will not be here for the first hour of tonights program. Thought I would put it up for those FReepers overseas that are viewing it now.

For those who wish to see the clips the Clinton lawyers complained about, Click here

And the show made it pretty clear that O'Neill wasn't pushed out because of Bush.

[Ladysmith]

107th floor... Geez.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Looks like that McNeil thing with the NT Times got cut.

My bet that was the last shot at Clinton.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I caught 30 seconds of Timmy Russert and it was one big democratic commercial! What a stupid jerk. The guy is just so dumb.

[rintense]

This is still August 2001, right?

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Yes. They did not write her part favorably...

[GRRRRR]

According to Cyrus Nowrasteh, the writer, there are NO CUTS from tonight's program. Only 71 seconds were removed, censored, from last night. ˝G

[Peach]

Yes. The plan was on the president's desk a day or two before 9/11 and this was testified to at the 9/11 Commission hearings by all the parties who wrote the plan.

Russert wears it on his sleave but hes actually a pretty good interviewer ;)

[pollyannaish]

That's why I rely on those wiser than I.

I figure once I reach 200, I'll be old enough to have a clue. ;-)

[El Gato]

Of course they could have done some more editing.

They did. They also added the disclaimer about "fictionalized" scenes. Now what that means is that the exact words and conversations are not necessarily what actually transpired. It doesn't mean that the events and the "gist" of the conversations did not occur.

BTW, it looks to me like the source of much of the "insider" information, for both administrations is likely Richard Clarke. Two reasons I say that. 1) Some of the stuff consists of things *only* he could know about, directly at least. 2). He's coming off much too clean. Like the story that ends "There you stand so spic and span, where where you when the "stuff" hit the fan". Of course guess where the "stuff" came from?

[RedCell]

I think so. Man, how's THAT for irony? J.O. getting the job of security for the twin towers. Oy vay!

[rwilson99]

The NYT must love that shot... after trashing John O'Neill and releasing state secrects.

[stocksthatgoup]

We are officially at WAR. The authority Congress gave Bush first for Afganistan and then for Iraq......makes it so.

[rintense]

I hope they show it.

[fatima]

No EQAndyBuzz,what was it?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Did you see the look on everyones faces when McNeil said he was going to work at the WTC.

Conspiracy theorists are going to have a big O over that one.

[mylife]

Im calling BS on that one

[gov_bean_ counter]

The actor playing Clark really had the bugeyed (crazy a$$) look down.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Yes, we were close. We had an actual plan, not the crap Clinton's team kept throwing together piecemeal. It's just that Clinton hadn't done enough to hold off the attacks.
