Saw the first part. It seemed fairly accurate, based on what
I have read. Clinton is just Clinton in it, so I can see why
he'd be upset about the drama. The show credits individuals
who exceeded their authority in order to make (or try to
make) things work.
They also spared some reputations. (They showed the border
guard stopping the millennium bomber, for example, but did
not show Richard Clarke's lying attempting to take credit
for his capture.)
If they use the same approach tomorrow to the Bush
administration team -- who you'll remember had an
exceedingly difficult transition -- neither party should
have much to complain about. It should make us happy that
some of the intelligence reforms have been enacted.
I'm so glad they are focusing on John O'Neil (Harvey
Keitel). He struggled long and hard against the bureaucrats,
warning against another attack on the Towers even the night
before 9/11, only to die in the attack.
