The five-and-a-half movie is being assailed by liberals accusing the producers of taking liberties with the historical record.  ABC defends the production by saying it is not a documentary but a dramatic retelling.  I don&#8217;t know about that, but I have to say the movie was exceptionally well-written and well-acted.  I was impressed with the nail-biting suspense and action &#8212; especially the way it ended.  At the risk of spoiling it for people, I thought it was really cool how they show the president landing a helicopter on the wing of the American Airlines Flight 77, killing Mohamed Atta with his bare hands, and then pulling off Atta&#8217;s beard to reveal it&#8217;s really former President Bill Clinton!  Unbelievable!  And if that wasn&#8217;t cool enough, Bush kills all the other terrorists in the cockpit and then lands the plane safely on the roof of the World Trade Center!  I have to tell you the special effects in this part were really exceptional and look as good as any Hollywood blockbuster.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; It&#8217;s strange that I seem to recall our President sitting on his ass reading kiddie books the morning of September 11 2001, but I guess I&#8217;m wrong.  I mean ABC says that the movie is based on the 9\/11 Commission&#8217;s findings and there&#8217;s no reason for me to believe my TV would lie to me.  I enjoyed the mini-series so much I can&#8217;t wait for a sequel.  I&#8217;m sure ABC has to continue the story, like when Saddam Hussein set a timer so George Bush only had two minutes in which to deactivate that nuclear bomb strapped to Condoleezza Rice&#8217;s bikini.  That would be awesome.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; It&#8217;s thirteen:o&#8217;clock, baby.  All hail our brave and glorious leader!\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; I had the chance to see an advance screener copy of ABC&#8217;s Path to 9\/11 mini-series, which will be airing Sunday and Monday.
