Damn, too late to live blog the whole thing, maybe I'll do the President's speech instead.
7:32 - Doesn't make a big deal of the "contested election", classy
7:33 - I thought O'Neill left his briefcase at a party, not at a seminar - More legacy rescue
7:34 - Nice to see the lady from "24" and Gary Schandling as C. Rice - I don't doubt that Clarke was ignored. New brooms can't help but sweep clean at that level
7:37 - O'Neill tells Clarke that PC rules the day
7:38 - Atta looking for loan for crop dusters
7:42 - Mideast suspects have been applying for flight school. Didn't some of these get their papers illegally
7:46 - Khatami refused entry by INS?
7:48 - KSM meets Atta, suggests Moussaui, Atta seems wrapped tight, got the eyes right
7:50 - Moussaui grounded in OK flight school, paid cash for next flight school, visited by INS, famous laptop bagged as evidence
7:53 - O'Neill interested in laptop. Really? FISA request by Colleen Rawley? - No guess not
7:56 - Moussaud taling about Taliban and UBL in Europe? Mossaud's character has all the earmarks of conflation, even if he really exists.
7:58 - Moussaud warns "Kirk", sounds mighty speculative
COOL they're breaking for Bush
8:20 - "Kirk" tells Tenet that they're planning something big. Tenet "threat information is off the charts". Clumsy writing here.
8:22 - Rice doesn't come off bad so far
8:24 - O'Neill announces new position at WTC "new sheriff in town?" I wonder
8:25 - Derivative of "Spanish Caravan" playing in background in Madrid. What? No drums?
8:28 - AQ heading for the mountains, cool music for once, Moussaud looks worried
8:30 - America must prepare, tell them "Kirk", "Patricia" shows up again to sound worried, Aviation, hijackers
8:31 - Bush believes AQ is a real threat and wants to try Predator, Hellfire missile is not ready, legality in question? Tenet comes off terribly, Clarke looks like a genius of course
8:33 - Moussaud will be dead soon, I'm betting, cameraman looks scary - yep
8:38 - I wonder if Rick Rescorla met O'Neill in his first two weeks on the job
8:40 - back to "Patricia" and "Kirk" "as true an ally as we ever had" re Moussaud, think Hitchens thought highly of him
8:42 - Atta's got daddy issues, gee really?
8:43 - do we get to see them go to the strip clubs? damn! What about Atta's desire to not have anyone wash his genitals?
8:45 - baggage check shows "Warning", etc
8:46 - back to the sticker from last night
Maybe not up for this last part.
8:53 - Who said Building two was secure? I've always wondered. Was O'Neill there? I guess so. It's unfortunate he only had two weeks to prepare - I know he died there
9:05 - too much camera shake
9:06 - Clarke is the Decider!!
Solid ending - Good Enough
