Screenwriter of documentary says ABC exec said delay has been prompted by unflattering portrayal of previous administration.

Among the nearly two dozen television DVDs slated for nationwide release on Sept. 11 is the second season of "Bones," the third season of "Grey's Anatomy" and the miniseries "The Starter Wife" that aired earlier this year. Not on the list on that day or any other in the near future is last year's highly controversial "The Path to 9/11."
The $40-million, five-hour ABC miniseries, which recently received seven Emmy nominations and drew a combined two-night audience of more than 25 million viewers, is for now on the path to nowhere. Its Amazon page reads: "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."
With no date for the release, questions are being raised about whether political pressure is behind its current status as a stalled or discarded DVD project. The reasons are murky, but the miniseries' writer, Cyrus Nowrasteh, believes it's crystal clear: Powerful forces are out to protect Bill Clinton's presidential legacy and shield Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) from any potential collateral damage in her bid for the White House.

It's like letting Satan rule your life because of fear, when you could live in peace through Jesus.
I posted a ‘vanity’ at that time:
But the libs are all in favor of free speech/artistic expression.
I’m sure big lefty groups are organizing protests as we speak...
I saw it (Path to 9/11) and thought it was very good. They could make a lot of money selling it.

This is the same woman (Hillary) who got booed at the Concert For NYC by the NYPD and NYFD but when VH-1 and CBS (both networks owned by Viacom, just as Viacom also owned the publisher of her autobiography) rebroadcast the concert subsequent to the live broadcast, those boos were overdubbed with false CHEERS. That is the version of "history" that is on the record now as that is what came out on DVD.
Wonder if NBC ever felt a need to omit Kanye West's bigoted comment about George W. Bush not liking black people?
A chill wind blows from the Clinton Compound.
Will these same “officials” speak out against Brian De Palma’s phoney depictions of GI rapes in Iraq?
Or does Dan Rather’s standard for “fake but accurate” apply?
NO THIRD TERM
ABC stock is Disney Corp.
Boycott Disney and starve the Beast.
>>Just pirate a copy to Red China, and they will have it available in every cook shop in Asia within 72 hours, with a beautiful jacket and a “ directors cut” notice, with selective audio in English , Mandarin,Japanese, Korean, Spanish and French.<<
Better yet, someone could upload the specific “contraversial” unflattering-to-the clintons clips to youtube. I suppose the Clintons would threaten youtube, but sometimes killing a story that shows someone in a bad light makes its effect stronger, because people imagine it to be even worse than it is.
As OBi-Wan said, “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can imagine.”
The Chinese love Hillery, why would they do that to her candidacy?
You absolutely did beat Drudge! I saw the video on breitbart and was googling for the story. You are #3 after some bloggers like ‘think progress.’
Did you see the big plugs the Clintoons got on Today Show? Grrrr....
The Red Chinese do not control the pirated DVD market, the almighty dollar does, and any Chinese pirate operation could easily see millions all over this CD. I would pay 20 bucks for one, wouldn't you?
Just one DVD of the program, and a quick trip to Hong Kong would be all it takes.
Man, what a fine thing that would be!
It would be the equivalent of the Swift Boat veterans organized assault of truth on John Kerry. And the TRUTH needs to come out on the Clinton fiascos.
BTTT
Interested to see what their reason will be.
Ok if they are not going to release it. Where can an unedited version DVD be obtained from?
