First off, let me say I'm not a Republican or a Democrat -- I'm not even an American, so I consider myself neutral. Anyway, the main thing I noticed following my reading of the anti-film reviews shown in the Comments section is that whereas so many Republican viewers complained about inaccuracies & mistakes in this film, there were very, very few errors reported in the 'Goofs' section. Strange, no? Could it be that the inaccuracies were those that disagreed with the opinions of the writers rather than reality? Anyway, anyone expecting ANY film to be 100% accurate is born to be constantly disappointed. Was 'Tora Tora Tora' (another film dealing with wasted chances to prevent a disaster) completely accurate? Was even 'Flags of our Fathers' infallible? No, & not even Mr. Eastwood would claim otherwise. If you want 100% accuracy (which might also disagree with previously held opinions), use an encyclopaedia -- though even these might upset the more politically chauvinist readers. Personally, I found this film interesting, provocative & providing plenty of food for thought. Well worth the watching.

In a nutshell, this is the story of how falling asleep at the wheel during the 1990's gave Islamic extremists the opportunity to pull off the attacks of 9/11.It's interesting how quickly we forget about the blunders which were made during the Clinton administration (Somalia, Kosovo, UN Scams, etc) But as long as your stocks were high, and you were gainfully employed...what did you care...right? You can bash President Bush all you want. But what you can't deny is that he was handed the worst situation/event in American history, mostly due to 8 prior years of policy which enabled our enemies pull off an event that most of us could never imagine.I'm sure all the Michael Moore types will post further venom of hate in regards to this post. But in reality...they are as blind as the administration which allowed terrorism to flourish!!

Is it any wonder that there are so many haters of that movie? The Democrats demanded parts of the movie be cut and they got their way. Did Bush ever demand cuts from movies lambasting him? No. He rises above criticism, unlike the Democrats and Clinton. This series is a breath of fresh air in the TV landscape where it's become fashionable to blame everything on the Republicans and Bush while letting the Democrats get away with murder scot-free. Yes, watch it. And learn. It's thorn in the thigh of all liberals who have most media in their pocket. It exposes Clinton's incompetence on national security and of course the Democrats would rather have that censored. And sadly, they got their way. So much for freedom of speech. Imagine the outrage if Bush had demanded cuts from Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11." Double standards are alive and kicking among liberals.

Many have said this is propaganda. It is not. Shall I give the page of the 911 report written by a non partisan group. Page 140 is what this documentary is based on. Just goto http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report.pdf PAGE 140. This is why Sandy Burgler stole documents from the national archive. He stole originals and the first and second backup copies but was caught with the second documents. In a plead not to goto jail Burgler has to take a lie detector test, which he has yet to do. The truth is there for all to see. You can read the entire report as I have or you can watch this movie and see that we the people are not fighting the war on terror seriously. With all I know now we are going to wish we bombed Iran while we could. The president has no power now just as Clinton had no power to get Bin Laden. Our press led by ABC has torn Clinton down and now Bush. I would highly advise watching this. I think ABC aired it to try to save face.
