bin Laden "present" to Muslims

With Obama in charge, this can't be good.

"In his latest message in June, bin Laden said U.S. President Barack Obama had planted the seeds of "revenge and hatred" toward the United States in the Muslim world."

About time.

"More significantly, though, were intermittent snippets of dialogue that, once removed, make some scenes difficult to follow. For example, CIA analyst Patricia Carver is asked via radio by soldiers in Afghanistan for "clearance to load the package" as women and children are approaching Bin Laden. Carver, seeking permission from National Security Adviser Sandy Berger to kill Bin Laden before the opportunity passes, says: "We know that the special action team has pinpointed the target. We know enough to try." But while the second sentence is in the miniseries, Disney cut out the first sentence.

"I don't understand the scene, and I directed it," Cunningham said after seeing Disney's edits.

Perhaps the largest section edited out was a scene showing Afghani and American soldiers disgusted when they can't get permission to kill Bin Laden.

"Are there any men left in Washington, or are they all cowards?" asks an Afghani soldier in the scene that was struck from the miniseries.

"They shouldn't have removed a frame," Nowrasteh said. "The movie had it right."

What MSNBC doesn't tell you is Spurlock's background.

US - bin Laden frustrated

And that's a good thing. I like this bit.

"It really must gall him that President Bush can fly into al-Anbar Province in Iraq, the former al Qaeda stronghold, while the only thing Osama can fly into is a rage."
