I heard about your 9/11 program on CBS world news tonight. I was dissapointed to see that you have opted to show this ONLY on your own pay-per-view cable channel. This disgusts me beyond words. National Geographic has finally shown itself to be the money-grubbing self-interested orgainization that you are. Cancel my subscription to your magazine and immediately and refund my outstanding payment for future issues.

Christopher Burt, I watched this tonight, and it was not on a pay-per-view channel but on the National Geographic Channel, which is part of my digital cable service. Lighten up on the boycotting and just pay for the extra channels.

I watch the program and it showed what I belive all along that our Gov tied there own hands because a leader paid more attention to the woman around him than the safety of the people of this country. I read some of the comments that it should have been showed in prime time TV. I belive that no major network would show this because this would show that Clinton drop the ball and cause the 9/11 to happen.

Clinton is not the only one who dropped the ball. While play was in his court for quite some time, Bush had many warnings from different agencies, including the outgoing Clinton admin.

Who tied who's hands? There were so many factors that lead to the dissolving of prime opputunities to dismantle the current terrorist regime, that you have to agree that beaurucrats around the world are at fault. Also, as stated in the documentary, Clinton was taking steps to address these threats, but pressure from the sex scandal forced his attention away. Many people, myself included, believed that Clinton launched missle strikes in the Mid-East to distract the public's attention from the "oral office" issue.

It sounds to me like you're ready to hang Clinton by his ears no matter what he does. Nobody's perfect.

I watched last nights program and it makes me sick to think that the world could have been so blind, I mean there were so many warnings. And I agree that Clinton fired those missles to distract the country from his sex scandle. I am very glad that this program has aired and I will watch the rest tonight. America has forgotten about September the 11th and they need a major reminder. Whenever I see the footage of those planes crashing into the towers, and footage of the rubble of the Pentegon and flight 93 I get that sick feeling in my stomach.

Hah, another fool who thinks they're out to destroy terrorism and are spreading freedom at the same time.
Good to see the "free" media is still at full speed keeping you informed, Dave.

For anyone who hasn't been able to read beneath the headlines over the past several years, I found the documentary incredibly informative. NG put it together so seamlessly that even though I've been exposed to all the pieces before, they didn't really make sense to me until last night. My one critique of the 4-hour show is that the last half hour was very rushed. I expected more on the pros/cons of Homeland Security and our lovely rainbow-colored warning system.

9/11 upset me then, and it still upsets me now. Now, my emotions are more out of anger than sadness - because NG showed how this could have been prevented. Still, I couldn't help but cry when I saw the first plane enter the North tower for the hundredth time.

Dear Captain Obvious,
thank you for the reply but where is my quote about spreading freedom via destroying terrorism, my tour upcoming tour in Afghanistan is to destroy and maime terrorists if their freedom comes about great if not I still do my job protecting mine and if you benefit fine

We've all seen the footage a hundred times now. Yet the sound of the FDNY PASS devices going off after their wearers had been dead or dying for hours just pierced my heart. Yet at the same time, the story of the Jew and the Muslim helping each other in a moment of need was heartwarming and refreshing in the face of such destruction. This program, in my opinion, was very well made. It pointed out that the bureaucrats are not perfect. Nor is our system or our political dealings. But it also touched on the bigger issue...one that exists in those that are so fanatical and extremist that they are willing to kill indiscriminately or be killed to continue centuries of bloodshed. Seems to me (and I admit a rather biased view) that a life spent in pursuit of personal martyrdom and murder is a potentially positive life wasted.

well said cathy

I watched the program and I found part 1 to be very educational/informative. Before watching part 1, I never really understood the connections between the war that started with Bush I and many other news-stories and events that followed for several years afterward. I do wish that National Geographic would play it a few more times this month. And I do think that it would be more effective if they would place it on regular tv (not cable); but that's their perrogative. As far as "blame" is concerned. I don't think that people in this country realize that the president does not run the country, he leads it. During the Clinton administration, his congress was too busy handling issues that had absolutely nothing to do with the affairs of this country, that they failed to work on what was REALLY important_ protecting the USA from a dangerous terrorist operation.

there's a good space for discussion about 9/11 here:

it's open to any one to post

I thank National Geographic for the airing of this program. I only wish that every American could have watched. Too many Americans have forgotten that tragic morning and they need a reminder of the horror we all felt that day. I cried as I watched and the chills and fear that I felt on 911 flooded over me as it did on that horrible, horrible day! My daughter is a flight attendant and was in the air that morning and no one will ever know what I went through until the call came to me that her flight was on the ground and she was safe. I will never FORGET that day.........I pray that it does not take another 911 to wake this country up to the task ahead of us in fighting terrorism!
