seems to me that one problem amongst many is that the situation in the pentagon tape and the situation that actually happened are wildly at variance one with the other. if the situation in real-time actually resembled that in the chopped pentagon video art-work, then i'd agree with seaver that there was real restraint shown.
but i dont think this happened outside some crude editing room in some office in washington. something vaguely like it happened in the straits of hormuz--but only vaguely.
