“Path to 9/11″ Night Two Thoughts
I doubt that much of anything was cut out of Night two. Madeline Albright argues against retaliation over the USS Cole because of the presidential election. Condi Rice doesn’t really jump on the Al Qaeda problem until a week before the attacks. “The Wall” between the FBI and CIA gets highlighted, and is largely what leads John O’Neill to leave the FBI. Then there’s the maddening missed opportunity to read the laptop of one of the eventual hijackers in Minneapolis because of legalities.
It was very good; I would agree with Rush that Disney’s Bob Iger for the most part held firm, and is to be congratulated for it. The only thing I would like to have seen is a scene from one of the celebrations that took place in Middle East when the towers fell.
