7. If it is anything like
the history channel special on the Reagan Assassination attempt it will be a seal of approval on the aura of the brave victim with full permission by lack of any followup to ignore any questions about the assassin and the Bushes or anything else for that matter. it featured mainly Reagan cabinet officials reminiscing on the great man and putting "humanity" into his and their own performance. Hague was priceless in his unapologetic depiction of his taking control.

I expect something between this and Oliver Stone(not even approaching the latter really)because the Commission sealed the non-followup, non-responsibility, non questioning deal officially so the "historic" pieces coming out can go ahead to that level without fear. To expect real history from TV is a bit insane considering the process and the format. to expect challenges or investigation from a corporate network would be expecting the Disney Channel to repent and air Fahrenheit 911 every week.

If you lower your expectations you will still be disappointed until you realize they must mirror the 9/11 Commission(an attempted remake of the Warren Commission) and can't cover new ground anyway. The percentage of time spent on victims and first responders should be a dead giveaway as to the goals of the program. How or if they mention the Iraq War will seal its place in the continued fog of deception.
