AP) -- A miniseries about the events leading to the September 11 attacks is "terribly wrong" and ABC should correct it or not air it, former Clinton administration officials demanded in letters to the head of ABC's parent company. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Clinton Foundation head Bruce Lindsey and Clinton adviser Douglas Band all wrote in the past week to Robert Iger. The two-part miniseries, scheduled to be broadcast on Sunday and Monday, is drawn from interviews and documents including the report of the September 11 commission. ABC has described it as a "dramatization" as opposed to a documentary.
The letter writers said that the miniseries contained factual errors, and that their requests to see it had gone unanswered. "The content of this drama is factually and incontrovertibly inaccurate and ABC has a duty to fully correct all errors or pull the drama entirely. It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known," Lindsey and Band wrote in their letter. The letter writers pointed out examples of scenes they had been told were in the miniseries, but which they said never happened. Albright objected to a scene that she was told showed her insisting on warning the Pakistani government before an airstrike on Afghanistan, and that she was the one who made the warning. "The scene as explained to me is false and defamatory," she said. Berger objected to a scene that he was told showed him refusing to authorize an attack on Osama bin Laden despite the request from CIA officials. "The fabrication of this scene (of such apparent magnitude) cannot be justified under any reasonable definition of dramatic license," he wrote.

Clinton thinks he is still running the country. Or at least the media.
Does he have an ADMINISTRATION or something...?
Excellent point. Don't you just love the way the MSM phrases things? If there are two ways to put it and one puts the former "administration" in a good light they will choose that one. Sometimes I really believe that they go out of their way to put it in a good light, but I am lothe to buy into "conspiricies". I, unlike the MSM like to see facts.
Why do you say it's going to cave? Gut feeling or evidence?
Now we find out where ABC stands...
ABC=All Bill Clinton
CNN=Clinton News Network
NBC=Nothing But Clinton
CBS=Clinton Bull S#*t
I wonder if there aren't some anti-Hillary players involved with this and why it may remain unedited.
The "Manning Bowl" is on Sunday night, or so NBC is calling it. Al Michaels, John Madden calling the game. That will be a mega draw, myself included.
I tend to agree that they are gonna cave on this. Wouldn't you like to see the emails & hear the voice mails that George Stephanopoulos has been receiving this week ?
***Oh, now they have set themselves up as some kind of sacred cows... next they will want to gag the press, and burn books... Leave that move for Evita IF she ever makes it into the WH.***
You've got it right!
They keep screaming about freeeeee speech when they attack Bush. Now they want a DOUBLE STANDARD.

Clinton fights terrorism. Clinton has always fought terrorism. Who's editing this for ABC, Winston Smith?
If it's a blowout, the channels change FAST....
And given the absolute lack of counter-programming, I'd say a WHOLE BUNCH of folks are going to be talking about this 'round the cooler come Monday....
THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
If there's one thing we should have learned from the left by now, it's that negotiation and compromise are always better than direct confrontation....so in that vein, I believe ABC should agree to altering the film as long as the Clinton camp agrees to allow Trey Parker and Matt Stone to oversee the editing process.
I think it is also running on Monday night too .... but I guess there is football on that night too.
Someone need to make sure that Sandy Burglar is nowhere in the vicinity of the ABC film vaults!
Always BENDING OVER for Clintons......
It's in the Chicago Tribune. They are "editing" the more controversial scenes.
I wrote them an email that I was going to tune it in, but now am not sure.
