ABC Altering 9/11 Film After Clinton Officials Express Outrage

Fox News ^ | 9/8/06

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.

'The Path to 9/11'
CLINTON FAILURE TO ORDER 'PURE KILL' CUT CHANCES OF GETTING BIN LADEN IN HALF

[El Gato]

By inference, they lose BIG in this. :)

Yeh, but they aren't that stupid. They must have figured they'd lose even bigger if the show aired as produced.

[dmw]

CNN, the Clinton News Network take advantage of getting the truth out? That will be the day!

[top 2 toe red]

Same here. I un-Tivoed it this morning.

[Williams]

The Reagan issue was at that point about a portrayal of a retired figure. This is about covering up 9-11 by a political power group that holds offices and is planning to take back total power. In fact, this censorship is a demand by them that nothing stand in the way of their return to power.

[Not A Snowbird]

Whatever they cut, it's too late. Too many copies are out there and too many people have seen it.

[sauropod]

Tom Kean has the spine of an invertebrate.

I detest him.

[danamco]

The kooksville fringe libs found their perfect candidate and role model of their president in bill clinton:

Draft-dodger.

Went to East Europe countries speaking about the Vietnam war (like pal j.sKerry).

Wife being something for the US communist party?

Womanizer.

Rapist.

Anti-war.

Today his nose looks like a huge bulb bow on a big oil tanker!??!

Appeaser as jimmuh carter.

Several times invited the master terrorist of all terrorists arafat into the White House while being "serviced" by monica in the oval office.

Lied to the Grand Jury.

Stole the furniture when moving out of the White House.

Now traveling around the world and making treacherous "$peeches" against a sitting President in war time.

Siphon money out of his lib disciples from "$peech" engagements and book deals, laughing at them all the way to the bank.

The above is just a minuscule of requirement to satisfy the brain washed liberals!

They could never find a more perfect man than "B.J." clinton!!

Just pure liberal mindset today!!!

Could they have found a better ideal "man" than b.c???

[Fawn]

Rush didnt' say he'd give us the snips....he said he would 'describe' them.

[American Quilter]

Friends, Rush has the whole thing, uncut.

Hugh Hewitt has one as well. He told his radio listeners last week.

[dfwgator]

Anti-war.

Tell that to the 2000 Serbs he killed.

[BenLurkin]

I've only heard the audio bite spoken by the leader of the Afghan Northern Alliance (when Berger refused to take Osama)

"Are there no men left in Washington -- or are they all cowards."

[Fawn]

The Clintonistas are giving the impression they care about the little inaccuracies in the movie.....when all it's about is the fact that they don't want people to know that he gave up BinLaden. He's been denying it for years. They will have to really gut the movie.

[WOSG]

"To be honest, this whole slimy affair looks like nothing more than the typical political dirty trick the Clintons used the entire time they were in office, which was just different versions of front-running."

Yeah, seems like old time.

a review that was glowing with how good the movie is, said that Condi comes off not good and Richard Clarke is a hero in it. ... s oit may not be hard on Clintons at all, they are whining (about a movie they never saw!) because if it approximates the truth in any way, they'll look bad.

Let's not forget what the Clintons are tryign to hide here - one story of it here:

And imagine accomodating a bum, a felon like sandy Berger, who admitted his guilt by trying to steal secret 9-11 documents in his pants.

And Bush--the DOJ--and the GOP controlled House and Senate DID WHAT ?
The same thing they did about the forged Guard Documents

[El Gato]

The most important thing to remember is that there are uncut versions out there - Rush has all 5 hours - and we need to make sure those versions are WIDELY available. Perhaps some wealthy conservative could make an arrangment to make copies available to every public school, every public library, and every public official in the country, with copies available to the public at the cost of production and shipping.

I'm sure it's copyrighted. That would leave a whole bunch of folks very open to a lawsuit by Disney/ABC. If they *gave* away all those copies, they'd still be somewhat vulnerable, but not nearly so much.

I've already seen the Sandy Burglar and Madeline Hardlybright scenes several times, but I haven't seen the movie.

I have, too...that is I am assuming the Patricia Heaton character is supposed to be the former Sec of State. Talk about incredibility!?I?

I've always preferred "CNN: The Al-Jazeera of American TV News"

Tom Kean has the spine of an invertebrate.
