A fictional crime drama based on the premise that the Bush administration ordered the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Washington aired this week on German state television, prompting the Green Party chairman to call for an investigation. "I think absolutely nothing of the conspiracy theory that has been hawked in this series. I hope this particular TV movie will be discussed very critically at the next supervisory board meeting of ARD [state television]," said Green Party Chairman Reinhard Buetikofer, who acknowledged that he had not seen the show. Sunday night's episode of "Tatort," a popular murder mystery that has been running on state-run ARD-German television for 35 years, revolved around a German woman and a man who was killed in her apartment. According to the plot, which was seen by approximately 7 million Germans, the dead man had been trained to be one of the September 11 pilots but was left behind, only to be tracked down and killed by CIA or FBI assassins. The woman, wh....

Here is news for you --- THE GERMANS DID !!!!
They organized a FAKE hijacking of a airliner six weeks after the Olympics, that resulted in West Germany releasing the surviving suspects of the Munich Massacre.
Golda Meir was prime minister of Israel at the time. Because of the German complicity regarding the release of the terrorists, she authorized "Operation X" (the assassination of Black September leaders).
I wonder how long it will take for cBS or FX to make an English version.
"Dumkopf!"
And we constantly hear it is OUR fault, and specifically Mr Bush's fault, that the US and Europe have a strained relationship. Garbage like this TV show has nothing to do with it, I'm sure. Ha ha.
Make that: BTW the Germans did cause contribute to the death of the Isrealis in the Olympics because of Poor planning. The islamofacist terrorists (and they alone) CAUSED the deaths.
A big difference is that all of the things you described in America were privately produced, while this german video excrement is funded and produced by the government.
The Germans showed live coverage of the assualt team on the roof of the dorms and Black September had the tv on.
Sounds like a Michael "Mickey Moose" Moore film.
Boycott movies. Boycott Hollyweird.
The DUmmie Comedy Hour?
The sad fact of life is that the left wing kook konspiracy documentaries are going to be what is studied in the future. The tiny amount of accurate documentaries will either be ignored or just excluded as too right wing.
I grant you that as a society the United States tolerates lots of crap in the culture - especially on the airwaves. However this is different in 2 ways - it's govt. funded (Germans Have to Pay for it thru taxes) and it (granted fictionally) promotes twisted lies about one of the worst days in United States history.
i'm very selective about what I spend money on. i think that's a part of citizenship.
WW I and WW II has effectivly clensed their gene pool of anyone with a spine.
Sometimes I think we should feel lucky there are not more conspiracy theories out there. It takes far less talent to make up a conspiracy theory than it does to write a short novel.
LOL. Balls too.
If you're watching the Germans...you've got your eyes on the wrong folks.
why are we picking on the Germans? In the US last year there was a feature-length documentary saying basically the same thing which showed in theaters across the country (courtesy of M. Moore)
That was criticized here too - lots - and in other places. This is Government funded.
A better question is why should we not bring attention to this show they made. Why are they immunized from criticism?
