Al Qaeda Blue

S
o I watched most of the ABC 9/11 docudrama. Why must TV filmmaking be so aggressively horrible? It felt like a re-run of "NYPD Blue." I would have paid good money just to have somebody hold a damn camera still for more than 2 seconds.

"It felt like a re-run of 'NYPD Blue.'"

OK, that's weird. I didn't watch it all (just flipped over to it a few times), but I described it in the same way to my wife earlier this evening.

I don't have time to watch crap (I already watched some of the Tar Heels game Saturday).

What I did see (most of which, at least) was the three-hour special on the Discovery Channel. During commercial breaks the findings of recent polls were released. According to one poll (3.3% moe), 25% of Americans would support placing Arab-Americans in "camps" until they could be "cleared" as non-terrorists. Only 71% disagreed with the proposal.

Absolutely frightening.

I watched "9/11" on CBS, which was very good. During a commercial break I flippped over to ABC out of curiousity, and saw them profiling a middleastern man I guess involved in one of the plane hijackings, and one of the aliases they listed was Somebody the Iraqi. I can't remember the first name, but seriously, the alias was like "Jackie the Iraqi." Anyone else notice this?
