A pathetic right wing hate orgy, built on deceit and lies. Approved and written by a former Reagan era political hack, the show had only one purpose: to smear the Clinton Administration and build up Georg W. Bush, never letting the truth stand in the way.This merely a propaganda piece to justify the war in Iraq. and blame Clinton and not Osama Bin Laden.I would have preferred the truth. I would have preferred an honest playwright. I would have preferred someone who could assign blame on those responsible, not avoiding blame on his minions, smearing the loyal opposition.

Great and Historic. Should be shown in every classroom! Will make a great Christmas Gift! Can't wait for the DVD! Harvey Keital gives his greatest performance ever. The portrayal of Madam Albright is fabulous and gives audience a true insight to her role in in the Snafu of the Clinton administration. This documentary is the film Mr. Clinton did not wan't anyone to see! When it does come to DVD I hope they show the directors cut. This masterpiece is a must see by every God loving American. My hat is off to ABC for showing the courage to show this piece of American history. It is my hope that they will show this movie every year on 9/11 so that we may never forget and that we remain for diligent against our enemy foreign and especially domestic.

Full of mockumentary camera wobble. The only thing worse than the camera wobble were the non-stop lies. Actually, the only thing worse than the non-stop lies was the film taking six hours for a plot that could have been summarised in two: President Clinton, according to this, was spectacularly indecisive, and President Bush extremely decisive. Although claiming to be "based on" the 9/11 Commission Report, it contradicts by the 9/11 Commission Report in several important places.And worse than that: it's dull. You wouldn't think that a film made about such a major disaster could be dull. But it was.

Very well written, excellent cinematography, extremely fair/insightful dialogue.The plot moves along quite well, the characters were fleshed out (some very well done), no cheap cliff-hangers.Some repeated themes (e.g., local/indigenous music being played on the streets of the scene at hand -- which also informs the urgency of how this part of the movie unfolds), including some gorgeous cinematography of colors/scenery in the middle east (especially where the freedom fighters in Afghanistan against bin Laden lived and died).There is more than one hero in the flick; more than one person or inter-agency infighting that caused paralysis/inaction.The ending was particularly well done. We know the ending. This movie was respectful, all the while being artful, even beautiful in how they touched the heart with certain persons as focal points at the end
At the end, not much dialog, just images, and some unobtrusive music, and -- a pit in the bottom of your stomach.Very fair. Very much worth seeing.
