The Secret History of 9/11
The dramatic, minute-by minute account of the biggest terrorist crime in history - revealing intrigue, desperate pursuit, and chaos in the highest reaches of power.

Directed by Gemini-winner Terence McKenna, the two-hour film splits between profiles of captured terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and former U.S. counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke, who warned of potential attacks during the Clinton administration. Watch a video excerpt  

9pm
9/11: Toxic Legacy
9/11: Toxic Legacy examines the environmental fallout of 9/11, the resulting health dangers, and what this still means for people working and living in downtown New York.

7. I just saw half an hour of the McKenna 9/11 piece. Based entirely

on 9/11 commission and interviews. There is some new stuff in it for those of us you never read the report. But it is really sad.

[Bozita]

9. Thursday's "The National" contained a 10 minute segment

link to broadcast:

24. K&R, check out these CBC interviews!

http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/conspiracytheories/interviews.html

These are not your typical conspiracy theorists:

Robert Baer, CIA agent who's book "See No Evil" inspired the film "Syrianna"

Jean-Charles Brisard, investigated al Qaeda finances for the French Intelligence and who's book "The Forbidden Truth" was banned in Switzerland.

Charles W. "Bill" White, graduate of Harvard business school, fighter pilot, former business partner of James Bath and a fierce patriot who has the inside scoop on the Bush family's Saudi connections. He claims that GWB is not fit to be president since he is subject to blackmail by Saudis. He has faced 28 lawsuits from Bushco after refusing to take hush money, and is recently being sued by NY mafia.

26. Toxic Legacy

Sadly, I don't see The Secret History of 9/11 running anywhere but I saw Toxic Legacy on Discovery Times -- it was excellent. Incredibly sad and infuriating, but excellent. They're going to rerun it:

[Lisa]

31. Post mortem:

The Secret History of 9/11 had its moments, especially dealing with the events of the day. But the backstory history from '93 to '01 seemed a little perfunctory, and certainly contained nothing revelatory.

Toxic Legacy, on the other hand, is an extraordinary piece of work, and anyone who gets a chance to see it is strongly advised to do so. I wouldn't have thought it possible, but it managed to raise my contempt and disgust for the misAdministration to a whole new level. And as for Christie Whitman, as much as I hated her before, I'm now convinced there's a special circle of Hell reserved for this woman.

Having said all that, I flipped over to ABC after Toxic Legacy - Dawg help me - and the few minutes of Disney crap I watched made the Head-On-apply-directly-to-the-forehead commercial a viewer's delight by comparison. Jeebus Murphy...:eyes: wotta piece o'crap.
