Inside Al Qaeda (2007)
Missed it by that Much
The documentary was well done for the most part and informative, until the film turns to the events of Madrid, Spain. The documentary claims that the bombings of the commuter tunnels in Madrid occurred in September of 2002. However, they actually occurred on March the 11th of 2004. At first I thought that I had my facts wrong, but after a google search on the subject the error was glaring. If the creators of this documentary had only reviewed the footage of the event from the surveillance cameras that they spliced into the documentary, they would have caught the error. The surveillance footage clearly shows the date 11-3-04 in the upper left hand corner.
After this, the remaining documentary becomes suspect as well. If one can not get the date right for one of the major attacks of Al Qaeda, then one has to question the remaining conclusions of the documentary itself.
