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.

It was too good to be true. ABC will likely cave. They probably wanted to spike it, but now they will have a thin pretext, an excuse...

Rush is reporting he's heard that Clinton is calling ABC to pull this footage from the movie.

Are we all calling ABC?

I'm confused, and not where I can listen to Rush right now.

Are they trying to get this miniseries pulled, or trying to change the content?

I need some fresh air.

I am livid over this.

I'm not quite there yet. Let's see what happens before we totally blow. If Clintoon fails good, if he doesn't and ABC caves, that's when all hell will break loose.

How will we know prior to 9/10 if ABC caves?

Clinton is not trying to get the mini series pulled - he's trying to get footage that show he and Sandy Berger ignored the CIA when they called from Afghanistan outside a house where they had Osama bin Laden surrounded.

We are not ignorant and we will not stand by and have the truth censored. 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.

How will Rush know, prior to 9/10, if ABC caves? I doubt he has a mole at the network.

Trying to change the content. Look at the reviews on FrontPage etc and you'll know why.
