Tom Borelli is so sure the Walt Disney Co. is suppressing the DVD release of the 2006 miniseries "The Path to 9/11" for political reasons that he is ready to put up money to prove the point.
Mr. Borelli, a Disney shareholder, accused Disney CEO Robert Iger at a March 6 shareholders' meeting of blocking the release of "Path" in order to protect Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the legacy of her husband's administration.
Mr. Iger countered at the time that the decision not to release the miniseries on DVD was motivated by business considerations, not political ones.
Mr. Borelli has now told The Washington Times he plans to make an offer to buy the DVD rights to "Path," an Emmy-winning miniseries that prompted fury among Democrats for its depiction of the Clinton administration as dithering and adrift in the face of the growing threat from radical Islamic terrorism.
Mr. Borelli, a portfolio manager with the Free Enterprise Action Fund — an investment fund that seeks to counter the influence of left-leaning "ethical investment" funds — says he has sent a letter to Disney's general counsel requesting a meeting to outline his bid for the film. He won't reveal a figure, but suspects that no dollar amount will persuade Disney executives to allow "The Path to 9/11" to reach store shelves.

I do hope that if and when the DVD of “Path to 9/11” is finally released that BOTH MOVIE VERSONS as well as many deleted scenes are also included.
Freedom of speech- What a concept.
I guess there wasn't enough of a leftist slant to suit Disney's agenda.
“dithering and adrift” is itself a coverup - a euphemism for blocking the exchange of information between agencies.
It amuses me how the left is always accusing Bush and other Republicans of suppressing free speech, yet here we have a crystal clear example of the left doing it.
What’s even more amusing; on another forum, a leftist from Canada said the government (as in, the democrats) actually has the right to suppress anything it deems untrue or fictional, in this case, the Path to 9/11.
bttt
Explains a lot. Glad I'm not a stockholder.
Hands down the best treatment on 9/11 yet. Should have been on the streets years ago.
I have a copy and I’ve watched it a few times since it aired. I’m convinced it should be required viewing for every high school student; it doesn an extraordinary job portraying the recent history of Islamic terrorism and our handling of it. It’s one of the best, most enlightening, most interesting productions I’ve ever seen. But yeah, Madeline Albright comes of as a b*tch.
censorship by omission.
FOOTNOTE: it is not like it is available online via any P2P system OOOOOHHHH NO.... (nefarious sarcasm off)
