Inside 9/11 - National Geographic TV

[LeftyElvis]

Did anyone watch that? What a puff piece for bush. It was like it was scripted by Rove. It didn't convince me at all that bin Laden had anything to do with 9/11 or that the "hijackers" were from the middle east.

I guess you can count National Geographic in there with the rest of the right wing media.

1. Yep; according to that piece, Bush only sat on his ass for 4 minutes.

We know it was more like a half hour.

2. They showed a Hell of a lot of info in 4 hours, and still managed

not to mention many important items. It pains me to realize millions of people must have watched that thinking it defined the "Investigation" - leaves BushCo. looking fairly efficient - they had an excellent chance to start people thinking. Pisses me off.

Imagine if Mike Moore had shown that same footage.

3. I find it particularly disturbing

that they still cling to the idea that the "hijackers" were trained in commercial flight schools. My bet is that the CIA trained them to fly and that they were no more Arab than cheney. No mention of the fact that some witnesses saw someone parachute out of the plane the second plane that hit the WTC.
