Will ABC Cave on "The Path to 9/11" (Clinton pressuring ABC)
NRO ^ | Andy McCarthy

Posted on 09/01/2006 9:24:55 AM PDT by hipaatwo

I’m hearing all kinds of disturbing, though predictable, stories about a Clintonista offensive against “The Path to 9/11,” an ABC documentary written and produced by Cyrus Nowrasteh ("Into the West"), and directed by David Cunningham ("To End All Wars").  I haven’t seen it yet (although I hope to this weekend), but it is already drawing rave reviews from people who have (the piece is reviewed at FrontPage, here).

  

Apparently, the documentary recounts the bureaucratic bungling and lack of action against al Qaeda that was pervasive prior to the September 11 atrocities.  It is by no means, I understand, pro-Bush.  It is, instead, an effort to present history accurately.  This evidently has many former Clinton officials and apologists in their default kill-the-messenger mode.  Great pressure is being brought to bear on ABC and Disney to reopen the editorial process at this late stage (the documentary is supposed to air on September 10-11) so that the years 1993-2001 may remain forever airbrushed.

  

Will they succeed?  This bears watching.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Utah PING!

Read the article on this thread. It is imperative that the Clinton machine is not allowed to edit the truth out of the events leading to 9/11:
Please contact ABC 4 (801)975-4444 or comments@abc4.tv

Let them know we expect the uncut version of the series. American, for once, deserves an unbiased version from the MSM.

Fortunately, ABC 4 out here is pretty good and will, likely, help.

Their reporters offered fair coverage (and the best, IMO) of the left's protests during the Bush/Rummy/Condi visit to the American Legion. IIRC, they also rejected Sheehan's and the moonbat's TV adds last year.

Saw on Court TV last night their special called "On Native Soil, the story behind the 9/11 Commission" Pretty biased in my opinion.

All about the Arkansas Grifters getting back in the Oval Office.
All about them...it's always all about them.

If Clintoon can't have this thing edited in his favor, I wouldn't be surprised if TPTB arrange to have some sort of "breaking news" alert, interrupting the movie right when the negative portrayal of Bubba comes on.

My, I've become extremely jaded over the last few years...8 years of Bill and Hill will do that to ya!

I just sent ABC an email thanking them for airing this. I think it is a good idea to do so especially in the light that the rabid DUers are scatter bombing them with complaints.

Are you aware of the fact that"Dingy Harry"was dancing with glee last year when he thought he (and his fellow DemoRats)had dismantled The Patriot Act?Are you also aware that it was Ms.Gorelick who helped to erect the"firewall"between intelligence-gathering agencies which prevented them from"sharing"intel/info??What in the name of Almighty God was she doing on that panel???Damage Control????

dismantled The Patriot Act

Yes, I know how excited the Democrats were about that and I know that Gorelick created 'the wall' that was in large part responsible for 9/11. There certainly is no mystery there. The hilarious thing is that they can simultaneously accuse the Bush Administration of not acting on the recommendations outlined in the 9/11 Commission Report while they also try and remove some major fixes that the Panel recommended...and few questions them on it. They know that only a handful of people will ever read the report.

Dear P-40,let's NOT forget something else.Sandy"BURGLAR'S"pilfering of Clintoon Administration files from The Library of Gongress(some of which he destroyed).These were the type of documents which contained"hand-written"notes in the margins(enscribed during meetings).Obviously,some of these documents(Clintonistas)feared would illustrate just how"asleep at the wheel"this bunch were during the planning-stages(1999-2000)for the attacks which occurred on 9/11,2001!Clinton was called to testify,and his cronies wanted to make CERTAIN that there was as little damning evidence against his administration's utter FAILURE to address the terrorist threat!!!!I still say;"WHITEWASYH"(certainly NOT a "White Paper")!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clinton's tendency to 'margin write' was mentioned in the report, ironically enough. Curt Weldon was going to look into just what it was that Bergler burgled...but I have not heard what came of that. Nothing, I suppose.

Dear P-40,as you well know,when we entered the war,we had a lot of P-40s,Brewster Buffalos,P-39 Airacobras....The Navy had the F-4F.The A-2M was"king of the hill"in The Pacific.I think our guys became(were)better pilots.Also,guys like Jimmy Thatch developed better tactics.Eventually(1943),we had the F-4U,and the F-6F,but it was REALLY over for The Empire of Japan after Midway because they had NO way of replacing the four carriers they lost.The"Marianas Turkey Shoot"was the icing on the cak!

Pinging you on the Clinton's is like hitting the numbers on a Vegas slot machine -- instant payoff. Your links are far more valuable than a hatful of quarters...

Very helpful. Here's the comment I sent:

"Path to 9/11" comment:
Ignoring history and the lessons it teaches dooms us to repeat the same mistakes of the past that have caused us so much pain and heartbreak. Do NOT succumb to pressure from Clinton or his followers to censor this special. Respect the American people. We can handle the truth.

The Clintons ALWAYS overhype impending bad news....as worse than it will actually be...its how they leverage and control expectations.
