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 really was a look inside the bunker. Turns out the TV and phone reception onboard Air Force One was spotty at best and the bunker under the White House was overwhelmingly out of date. They were expecting mission control from Independence Day and they got the bunker from Terminator 3. Interesting to see it all unfold from Bush's viewpoint.

A clear and gripping documentary that benefits from remarkable access to people and photos from that chaotic and frightening day. It won't change your mind on what happened afterwards, but it did leave me with more compassion for the people involved and the circumstances in which they were working.
