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.
Done
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 hope he does pick it up
Just in case .. I emailed it to friends and family :0)
it was written by the Officer that carried the nuclear football for Bubba
Thanks for the ping, Txsleuth and thank you, SE Mom, for that link to this article on the other thread.
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?
BTTT
Good for you- I'm amazed he's not running with it already...he's got enough up there about the assassination of the president movie......
I need some fresh air.
Are we all calling ABC?
I'm waiting until I hear the outcome before I totally blow up.
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.
Just in case .. I emailed it to friends and family :0)
Great idea! thanks :)
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.
How will we know prior to 9/10 if ABC caves?
Rush Limbaugh! He'll blow I'm sure.
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.

Ernesto looks like it's here. It just started raining..sigh
How will Rush know, prior to 9/10, if ABC caves? I doubt he has a mole at the network.
PING and BTTT!
Trying to change the content. Look at the reviews on FrontPage etc and you'll know why.
