ABC Altering 9/11 Film After Clinton Officials Express Outrage

ABC is altering its upcoming miniseries "The Path to 9/11" in response to intense criticism from members of the Clinton administration that the two-part, made-for-TV film is filled with factual errors and lies, a network official reportedly said.

Three members of the administration — former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, former National Security Adviser Samuel R. Berger and Clinton aide Bruce Lindsey, who now heads the Clinton Foundation — said they sent letters to Walt Disney Company, parent of ABC, demanding that it re-edit or pull the five-hour film, scheduled for air Sunday and Monday nights without commercial interruption.

The Washington Post reported Friday that an ABC executive, who requested anonymity because the network is making only written comments, said small revisions have been underway for weeks.

Well here we go...

Doesn't matter .. the damage is done

Clinton AND the Dems shot themselves in the foot by protesting and threatening ABC

They made 9/11 all about them and what they want

9/11 isn't about them ... It's about the American People

They cut portions of Farenheit 911? About time they had some sense to recognize it for what it is.

Pure evil prevails in America, the First Amendment buried by the leftists in what promises to be a mass grave holding all our truths and most sacred rights.

ABC will run disclaimer saying movie is a ficticious docudrama... scenes will be cut..

They might as well pull it then

Shot themselves in the foot with that disclaimer

Personally I think they were wrong to make it to begin with

Anything as important as 911 should be a DOCUMENTARY not a DOCUDRAMA

All hype. This is nothing but free publicity for them. They never intended in pinpointing Clinton. Just getting people on the right to view it. This is a two night deal, so they will leave a cliff hanger. Probably making everyone think on the first night that it's all Clintons fault. Then do the old bait and switch. On the second night it will become all Bush's fault. everyone will be suckered into viewing this so called cliffhanger.

More than 170 posts. I've seen all kinds of names being thrown at these scum, but never once the true and accurate term of FASCISTS! That is what these people are. The sooner the American people wake up and realize this, the sooner they can be elliminated.

CLINTON ET AL ARE NOTHING BUT FASCISTS!

Hate to say this but with all this hype from the Clinton people we have decided to NOT watch the show. Will wait for the actual reviews, then decide if we want to watch a rerun or buy the DVD.
