9/11: INSIDE THE PRESIDENT’S WAR ROOM

TIMELY DOCUMENTARY A revealing portrait of Dubya

In his 2004 film Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore mocked the seven minutes President Bush sat silently in a Florida schoolroom after being told a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. Now, in revealing close-up, Bush himself tells why he didn’t rush out of the room. All the details that weren’t released at the time are here: we learn how Bush’s aides thought he was the next target, why he stayed on

Air Force One for so long (turns out he was repeatedly restrained from returning to Washington) and why he believes his actions in Afghanistan were the right thing to do. BBC iPlayer, now
