I told you people yesterday and the day before of a movie, a mini-series running on ABC on September 10th and 11th, called The Path to 9/11 and I told you that I have the DVDs. I also told you because I am in touch -- I am poor when I'm in New York -- I do not have a DVD player.
I don't. My apartment's got an old media room in it, it's got a laser disk player in it, but it doesn't have a DVD. Well, actually it has a DVD player in it, but the TV doesn't work. The projector does, and it's the only room in the house where there's a DVD player, and I can't watch DVDs on computers because I can't hear well through computer speakers. So I watched it. It's four hours.
I have the DVDs right here. I'm holding them in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. I watched on the plane flight home last night. I watched part of the first one. I had to go to the airplane to watch it. I'll tell you, this is called being in touch with the average American.
I couldn't watch a DVD at home. At any rate, let me just give you the upshot of this, because I've mentioned to you even without having seen it I know what it's about. The Path to 9/11 essentially chronicles everything we know that happened in the nineties that prevented the capture of Osama bin Laden.
It indicts the Clinton administration, Madeleine Albright, Sandy Berger.
It is just devastating to the Clinton administration. It talks about how we had chances to capture bin Laden in specific detail, which I will get to in just a moment.
That's not the point. I mentioned to you yesterday or the day before, the days are running together, that a friend of mine did this. His first name is Cyrus, and Cyrus has got some other film credits.
He took it to Washington in the middle of last week and screened it for people and it caused nearly bloody uproar where they showed it.
Richard Ben-Veniste went up in Cyrus's face and told him it was disgusting. This film was disgusting.
It caused all kinds of havoc and that led to the creation of efforts to try to get this program banned, put pressure on ABC to get it canceled and not run and so forth.
It also had a lot of people in the room that loved it. There were many people, Michael Barone saw it, a lot of people were in the screening there and loved it.
Here is what is happening today. Bill Clinton himself is going to call Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, and demand or ask that this mini-series, The Path to 9/11, be reedited and recut so as not to depict Bill Clinton and his administration as they are currently portrayed in this mini-series.
Bill Clinton himself is going to call Bob Iger -- and this is not breaking news; I got the e-mail on this last night, and there have been some local hosts out in California who have been talking about this, but there is a huge movement afoot from inside the Clinton administration to put pressure on ABC to get this thing recut, reedited, if not more.
Very powerful players obviously, much higher than just Richard Ben-Veniste and so forth.
You know, folks, the whole 9/11 Commission, if you go back and look at these things that we know now, the Clinton administration's ability to camouflage history, to rewrite it, is just amazing.
Look at who they got on the 9/11 Commission. They got Jamie Gorelick, who authored the wall, and this mini-series explains the wall and gives illustrations of fact of how it hurt our ability to capture Osama bin Laden.
I'll get to that in just a second. They had had Gorelick on there; they had Ben-Veniste (who was a partisan hack lawyer from the Watergate days), and Tim Roemer, who is a Democrat from Indiana, and that was to ensure that the Clinton administration was protected, and so that the top structural explanation for intelligence failure was white-washed.

I don't understand why the Bush administration, the Department of Justice, gave Burglar the sweetheart deal of the century, then suppressed all the evidence involved in his action. Like I asked at the time, can you imagine if Condoleezza Rice had pled guilty to a misdemeanor mishandling of classified information, the media sitting silent about it?
Rest at link
At abc.com .....second line in the fine print at the bottom of the page, 2nd from the left, is a "Contact ABC" selection......
I'm wondering if BillyBubba could threaten Iger with anything.

If you want on (or off) this Catholic and Pro-Life ping list, let me know!
The scary thing about that photoshop is that it more resembles that resent bust supposedly of Hillary than pix of Hillary do.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Okay Smooth, so will I. I definitely want to see if they'll fold because of Billie. I want to see that uncut version and the contribution couldn't be for a better cause.
?????
Yawn. I don't even know this other poster. Paranoid much?
Hey, did you hear what that Bush Basher Rush said?
RUSH: I don't understand why the Bush administration, the Department of Justice, gave Burglar the sweetheart deal of the century, then suppressed all the evidence involved in his action.
Have at it .. ;)
Find a different target to take your bait. You aren't worth my time.
And yet you keep replying! Amazing! I'm sorry I offended you with Rush's Bush Bashing quote. I thought everyone on FR loved Rush. Learn something new every day.
Head on a Pole time.
OMG! It's the HillBilly Clinton!

* According to our best information,
40 government officials were indicted or convicted in the wake of Watergate.
A reader computes that there was a total of 31 Reagan era convictions, including 14 because of Iran-Contra and 16 in the Department of Housing & Urban Development scandal.
47 individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine were convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes with 33 of these occurring during the Clinton administration itself.
There were in addition 61 indictments or misdemeanor charges. 14 persons were imprisoned.
A key difference between the Clinton story and earlier ones was the number of criminals with whom he was associated before entering the White House.
I think we need to start a petition of have the clinton adminstration investigated for at least 5 years....after all, Patrick Fitzgerald just spent 2 years on nothing....
Madeleine HalfwitBright was just on video, after the African embassy bombings: "Pres. Clinton and I both said we will not rest until we find the answer to this terrorism problem. Our memories are long and our reach is far." WHATTASHAM!
I actually am watching this.
Did you notice that when they covered the U.S.S. Cole bombing, Kevin Kostner said, "When President Bush took office, he decided not to relatiate immediately regarding the Cole," without even mentioning that CLINTON DIDN"T DO A DAMN THING??????
In the last 30 mins., more of the slant has peeked through, and I heard that junk. They've certainly done selective editing. Doesn't ABC own Court TV?
BTW, can you record the first night for me? I will be at the Freedom Walk at the Pentagon. I can watch it the following week. ;*)
