After minor edits in response to Democratic critics, the miniseries will air as scheduled. It's already set off a bitter election-year dispute. Walt Disney Co.'s ABC is forging ahead with plans to air a miniseries starting Sunday despite controversy over its efforts to dramatize and some say unfairly politicize the events leading up to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Producers said late Friday that they had finished making minor edits to "The Path to 9/11" amid a firestorm of protests from leading Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who warned that telecasting "right-wing political propaganda" might violate the terms of ABC's government-mandated broadcast license.

You know, apparently Bush doesn't come off faring well either.
Kind of like "sort of pregnant"
That is what I understand as well. If it makes people really hate the terrorists, I'll be satisfied. They are our enemy. Good to hear from you Hildy. Peace.
Got three little letters for ya, Harry:
BTTT
BUMP
and that won't be edited of course.
no one should watch this show.
I smell a Rat
If this miniseries comes off as seen by Hugh Hewitt, or even fairly close to that, I am proud of ABC for not bowing to Bruce Lindsey et al of the Klinton Kamp & Legal Team, or any other dem / lib pressure.
All the demands that ABC kill it may end up in a lot more people watching.
ABC stands by their product, finished with the "editing" Friday......
its like making a movie about Pearl Harbor, without showing the japanese flying the planes. just a "minor edit" mind you.
Add NPR to that!
And Richard Clarke is unscathed in this movie.
I hope the opening scene shows a bunch of senators in a smoke-filled room, scheming to block the movie.
Yes, but Bush isn't howling like a cat on a hot stove. Only Clintonistas who want their second shot at White House power are doing that.
Do remember that Rush has seen all 6 hours and he applauds the film...
they will edit out all of the "personalization". the CIA attacks will be called off, but they will not show who gave the order.
that's the UNEDITED version.
ABC and their right winged fanatical point of view led them to this debacle.
I wonder what would happen if they were to tote a left wing fanatical point of view?
I guess we'll never know.
