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
VHS please and thank you! ;*)
It appears we are the only ones awake. I just looked at the time.....think it's that time.
G'nite Smooth. "See" you tomorrow! ;*)
BTTT!
On it, s.
"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. "
It doesn't seem that The Bush (Skull & Bones) Administration is as Republican, as American or as innocent as we all like to think, when we see things like this and the trans-America highway happening.
We can't trust any man (or woman). "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." - Jeremiah 17:5
God makes it real simple for us!

We shall all find out if he is a tool of the Clinton's or willing to exhibit "art".
Paging ABC's affiliates....
That being said it wouldn't be FR if we couldn't have an honest disagreement now and then with some of the bizarro things that do happen in this adm. from the border fiascoes to cow towing to many clintonistas over and over.
If you can't pickup on that then you may be too dumb to post here.
getting it in the neck....
LOL...Sorry I gave up the ghost earlier and missed out on all the conversation, I just can't hack the late hours like you two. Hope you get your puter problems straightened out, Justa. If I have any kind of problem I have to call one of my kids or grandkids to take care of it. I get teased, especially if it's a grandkid but I love it.
I saw on the other thread where you're considering broadband, Smooth. I put it off for a long time and my son finally convinced me to try it. After I got it I wouldn't go back for anything, it's great.
*PING* to Post #5.
A lot of us wonder about some things the Bush Administration has done (or not done). Personally, I've found that President Bush has a reason for everything he does. And he knows a lot more details about various national issues than any of us could possibly know. (That's why we elect presidents... although sometimes clinton-happens.)
Thanks for the ping. Bill Clinton usually gets his way with the media.
