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.

why are you attacking Kean? he has made public statements about this movie, that's its accurate and how everyone should see it (before this decision to edit it). at least that's something, alot more then I heard from anyone else.

unless it airs unedited on the network, a tiny number of people will see it. and only people who seek it out, and those are people who already know the truths here - so its meaningless.

the reason the Dems got it stopped, because they feared the ignorant sheeple masses would get a dose of reality from it.

You guys who can't win arguments on their merits always use the same MO after you've lost.

One of the whiniest is "You attacked me! Wahhhh!"

But the "you've posted to me after you said you were done with me" line is possibly the most flaccid of them all.

I remain amused. Thanks. :)

I'm saying that whatever it is you're looking for in human nature, wait, look hard enough and most likely you'll find it sooner or later. You've zeroed in on finding fault in Republicans...spineless, you like to call them.

Since spinelessness is what you are looking for in Republicans, one of them, being a member of the human species, is eventually not going to disappoint you . Then, wooohoo, you can from now on paint with a broad brush Republicans one and all as...spineless.

Many Republican leaders are courageous and brilliant, but, you refuse to see or acknowledge that. The "few" became the party as far as you are concerned...the party you love to bash at every opportunity you can find.

I'm confused too. Discovery Channel was supposed to run a movie version of Peter Lance's "Triple Cross." Lance is having trouble with them trying to make unwarranted changes.

Uncbob, I guarantee I am going to surprise you. Tonight I decided to go to your page and read some of your posts to other threads...ready?...here's the kicker, I agree with a lot, a whole lot, of what you have to say.

I agree that Frist should flatten Reid over the letter threat.[...and I agree probably he won't.]

I agree with you on the Armitage leak.

I, too, wish Sandy-sock-stuffer had received punishment equal to the crime, what he received was an embarrassment to justice.

Agree that the guilty parties in the CBS forgery should have been prosecuted.

These you didn't discuss, but, we maybe agree on, I believe the NSA leak, the foreign prisons leak, and any/many other various and sundry, present and future leaks should be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law.

IMO, I just don't agree that the bashing and blame heaped on the GOP is the way to resolve any of this.

There is an abundance of impediments that have to be weighted into each or all of these instances. It's far too simplistic to blame the "spinelessness" of Republicans for the failure in producing satisfying results to these cases, again, IMO.

After reading your posts, I realized that you care deeply about most of the same issues I care deeply about, we just have a real difference of opinion as to where to place the blame on the screw-ups, missed opportunities and unaccomplished possibilities.

Although, we're polar opposites on this issue, I think we're parallel on many more of the tough issues...I found an olive branch on the way to this post, how about it?

I don't know, but if he thinks he can dictate the news that FOX covers, he will soon be looking for a job.

Well Henry Kissinger said "90% Of the politicians give the other 10% a bad name
I think he was an optimist

Read the book SELL OUT about Clinton's impeachment see what the author thought about the senate

Ya think anyone will stand up in the senate and condemn Harry Reids warning ABC

That was simply a request because you were boring me to death, silly boy. (I never whine........especially when I've won an argument. There's no need).

But you......you said I was 'attacking' you...........and I'm still laughing at your wimpiness.

btw....you're a pretty sore loser, aren't you? You related to algor? Twins?

(He hates Republicans too.....)

That is all they will respond to -- pressure

Don't know if you ever had any personal contact with politicians but I have and all the vast majority care about is power ( getting elected )

I joined the Young Republicans in 1970

What an Eye Opener
