ABC: 9/11 Program Criticism 'Premature'

"No one has seen the final version of the film, because the editing process is not yet complete, so criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible."

Then what's all the belly-aching about?

[veronica]

This would indicate they are not caving to the Dems and cancelling the movie.

"They shouldn't have scenes that are directly contradicted by the findings of the 9/11 report."

I agree with him there; they shouldn't. No evidence to date that they have such a thing though...and it will be easy enough to prove either way.

"No one has seen the final version of the film, because the editing process is not yet complete, so criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible," the network said in a statement Thursday.

Translation: "Wait! We're not done watering this thing down yet. When it actually airs, 9/11 will be George W. Bush's fault and it will be clear that only Hillary Clinton can lead our country in the future. If you think you're mad now, just wait!"

"They shouldn't have scenes that are directly contradicted by the findings of the 9/11 report."

Yeah, like the finding that Jamie Gorelick's iron wall of silence did not contribute to 9/11. The 9/11 commission was a sick joke.

Yeah, like the finding that Jamie Gorelick's iron wall of silence did not contribute to 9/11.

That was not a finding of the Report. In fact, one of the recommendations of the Commission that was addressed in the Patriot Act dealt with the wall. If you load the Report in Acrobat and search for the term 'the wall' you will see what I mean.

I made my statement already. I had it setup for Tivo'ing. Tivo uses its information as an ratings tool. I deleted that last night. I will watch part 1 bypassing Tivo and if it is a snow job, there will be no part 2.

Premature= ABC is caving.

I would pay money for the UNCENSORED "path to 9/11" documentary.


This is the censored version so now we get to watch this wondering what they DID take out.

Are there work edits out in distribution?

FNC said they HAD a copy of this documentary. (unfinished?)

[Suzy Quzy]

ABC speak....."Wait...we have blamed BUSH for everything in the final cut'!!

[tobyhill]

These Congressional "Leaders" who wrote this letter to ABC is attempting to intimidate ABC/Disney and is in violation of the Constitution by using their positions in an attempt to restrict free speech.

[arthurus]

Premature because they are criticising a version of the movie that is unlikely to be shown. This will probably be a tremendous bait-and-switch.

[TChris]

That was not a finding of the Report...

Not in so many words, but Jamie Gorelick played a central role in the strengthening and expansion of "The Wall" in order to help Clinton in the ChinaGate affair. That fact, combined with her membership in the commission itself makes the commission's treatment of the subject feeble at best.

The Writing on "The Wall"

what's all the belly-aching about?


It's about the very real tarnish on Clinton's legacy and this docudrama isn't spinning the story he wants!

[pillut48]

I'll bet good money they show up on youtube.com!

I rarely watch the dinosaur channels anyway anymore, if ABC caves to the dems on this, that will be the final straw for me. I'll stick to getting my news from talk radio and FR, thankyouverymuch!!

The Report does attribute the creation of 'the wall' to her, notes that she will not have input into the parts of the Report that concern 'the wall' because of her involvement, and then goes on to cover the hell 'the wall' created...some of which gets absolutely comical if you can forget how many died because of it.

[TChris]

The Report does attribute the creation of 'the wall' to her...

Hmm... Looking at page 79 and 80 of the report, they do mention Jamie Gorelick in passing, but they seem to describe "The Wall" as "misunderstanding" combined with a power grab by the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review. I always believed it to be a much more intentional blockade at the behest of the Clinton Whitehouse.

But, I suppose I'm foolish to believe the commission would come out and say that.

[P-40]

Yeah, they did not go out of their way to say Gorelick is a nutjob...but I bet they were thinking it. :)

They do give Gorelick her 'pass' with that misunderstanding statement...but I guess that was her statement and they let her statement stand for the record. I guess they would have been accused of being partial if they had tried to say much more.

I hope the mini-series includes the scenes of the FBI agents discussing, in the context of 'the wall' and before 9/11, planes flying into the World Trade Center.

[Not just another dumb blonde]

Me thinks they doth protest too much. They're afraid the American people will find out the truth about the Clinton administration, and will open some eyes to the fact that they did nothing, when they should have done something.
