All the political bickering over this movie is little more than petty distraction. The film is largely an accurate portrayal of events preceding 9/11. The lesson to be learned is how a relative handful of determined radicals can strike such a deep wound into the most powerful country on the planet. Rather than bicker over details and the past, we should look to the future and work on ways to better deal with the threat and examine the causes of the threat. Certainly a movie worth watching.
Oddly, knowing how the movie will end takes away some of it's theatrical value. It's a taut political thriller... but we already know the ending and the good guys do NOT save the day.
