Bush: The 9\/11 Interview\u201d \u2014 promoted by the channel as the only in-depth sit-down the former president is giving this time around. (It was taped months ago.) <\/p>\n<p>Here Bush meticulously recounts his actions, his anger, his thoughts. The Florida classroom with its cheerfully regimented reading drills, the president\u2019s Chief of Staff Andrew Card whispering in Bush\u2019s ear; Air Force One\u2019s frantic leap frog from one military base to the next as events dramatically unfolded in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania; the emotional speech the president delivered atop the World Trade Center\u2019s rubble three days later, via bullhorn. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the president\u2019s opportunity to adjust a slightly askew picture frame. He sat through the classroom reading of the pet goat story because he didn\u2019t want to alarm the children. He was madder than spit that the Secret Service wouldn\u2019t let Air Force One return immediately to Washington. He never wanted to be a wartime president. He thinks that over time, Sept. 11 will eventually return to its former status as just another day. He is as helpful and lucid as an ex-president can be, but he seems to have little else to say.
