Sandy Berger is lucky they didnt show him stuffing government documents into his bra.
After all, cinematic license is cinematic license.
Regarding ABCs tarted-up 9/11 movie that sparked a furor among Clintonites who felt they were unfairly blamed for the rise of Osama, I hate to be so quaint as to defend reality. Theres not much point. Its as dead as dial-up.

In New York, hybrids of fiction and nonfiction are lavishly rewarded; publishers want the reality part to sell the fiction part and the fiction part to enhance the reality part. In Washington, the Bush team is on a cynical and dangerous new pre-election push to present its fantasies about Iraq as reality, accusing reality-based critics of moral or intellectual confusion, as Rummy put it.

For five years, weve been telling Americans that Sept. 11 changed everything. It will always be a defining moment in our history, President Bush says in this years Patriot Day proclamation.
We declared it a harbinger of a new clash of civilizations, a global ideological struggle World War III, in Newt Gingrichs words.
We reported intelligence estimates of thousands of Al Qaeda terrorists and supporters in sleeper cells in America.
