11-S: así se vivió en la Casa Blanca

This work was pretty fine, whatever we think of the people involved in it.

For posterity, this film delves into the Executive Branch "players" so-to-speak i.e. President George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Colin powell, Mike Morrel, etc... in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 and the decisions that were made at the time. In my opinion, each gave all that they had to give, in regards to why certain decisions were made, but - more importantly, they've allowed those decisions to be measured and weighed in light of what was catalogued, inventoried and collected afterwards, without excuse making.

This film is a real look at the moment that truly changed a nation... from an unprecedented access... and a startling view from those that made the toughest decisions for our nation and the course with which we must steer and navigate today, both good -and- bad.

An interesting re-telling of the 9/11 story, but it seemed to maintain that the decisions made by Bush and Cheney somehow justified their actions. In reality, their entire circle of war hawks were nothing more than a cabal of bumbling idiots whose "war on terror" spanned 20+ years and cost US$2.2 trillion dollars. Seems like that money could have provided health care for the entire country for more than 20 years. Go figure.

Apparently it is for all these bashers difficult to put this docu in the context of 2001 or from a preferred political party point of view. Dont look at it from a Rep. Lens or Dems lens but look at it through a 2001 lens.

It is so easy (and a cheap shot) to judge those based on the knowledge we have today and if you do, well yeah you rate it probably below 4*.

If you watch these docu througg a 2001 lens or perhaps, if you are a bit more sophisticated, through a political analyst lens, you might actually enjoy this doc.

This is an amazing doc. It actually just seems to be a 2021 version of the 2011 documentary with the same people. That documentary was called 9/11:The day that changed America. It's nice to hear it from the bush administration at that time and from his words. I loved how seemless the scenes moved through.
