Clinton Administration Officials Assail ABC's 'The Path to 9/11'

Top officials of the Clinton administration have launched a preemptive strike against an ABC-TV "docudrama," slated to air Sunday and Monday, that they say includes made-up scenes depicting them as undermining attempts to kill Osama bin Laden.

Former secretary of state Madeleine K. Albright called one scene involving her "false and defamatory." Former national security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger said the film "flagrantly misrepresents my personal actions." And former White House aide Bruce R. Lindsey, who now heads the William J. Clinton Foundation, said: "It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known."

ABC's entertainment division said the six-hour movie, "The Path to 9/11," will say in a disclaimer that it is a "dramatization . . . not a documentary" and contains "fictionalized scenes." But the disclaimer also says the movie is based on the Sept. 11 commission's report, although that report contradicts several key scenes.

Berger said in an interview that ABC is "certainly trying to create the impression that this is realistic, but it's a fabrication."

Let's hear Berger say: "It's impossible that you know that to be true. I burnt that memo".

Madeline...On a Russet show she was asked: "Why didn't Bubba take Bil Ladin?" Her answer: I don't know. I just don't know.

It should always be noted that the reasons that Clinton said He bombed the Sudan, Afghanistan, and Iraq (several times) was to prevent Osama Bin Ladin and Saddam Hussein from working together to produce WMDs for use by Al Queda that were developed by Iraq

DEMOCRATS!

Time for the real conservatives on FR, be it Republicans, Independents or Democrats (like Zell Miller and John O'Neill) to band together and oust the looney left and RINO's The "Politically Correct RINO's" on FR are the same group who "swore" klintoon, hitlery, hanoi kerry, sanbdi ber(bur)glar, al bore, jane beno, would be prosecuted for pardongate, chinagate, the bribes in upstate NY in the 2000 NY Senate race, waco, etc, etc, "when" the "time was right".

Well, the time isn't right yet (Snicker)

Former national security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger said the film "flagrantly misrepresents my personal actions."

He's upset because he wasn't shown stuffing his pants with documents?

[NRA1995]

"The Path to 9/11," will say in a disclaimer that it is a "dramatization . . . not a documentary"

I thought Democrats LIKED things that are fake but accurate......

[MNJohnnie]

Surprise surprise. The usual suspects cannot attack the Democrats ON anything. They simply keep sniping constantly at their own side rather to avoid ever having to attack the Democrats on anything. Why is that?

[Quix]

Excellent points

[investigateworld]

What choo talk'n 'bout Willis?

I spent beau coup hours setting "R" candidate's political billboards in various locations.

It just would have been nice to see Sandy Berger's size 58 fanny wearing an orange jumpsuit.

This Administration just don't want to throw it's fans any red meat!

Why is that?

Bump!

We should all reflect on the situation that Israel would be facing if both Iran and Iraq were sending in men and supplies to Lebanon. You will also remember that Iraq has no problems sending in Scud missiles into Israeli cities. What if those missiles has something worse in their payload? These two enemies would make true the words, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Israel would be toast my friend.

Hey, DEMS you cannot have it both ways.

They released him. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America."

That's because the klintons think only in terms of laws, and law-breaking. Maybe because they operate that way too. To them, every problem in the world can be solved by a smart lawyer, or a crooked judge. And they have access to plenty of both.

They have spent their lives inside the bubble of political power, where weapons have no relevance, except for taking care of minor problems involving "little people" with their secret police force and private detectives.

Islamo-nazis can't be dealt with using restraining orders. You just have to improve the world a little bit at a time by terminating these oxygen thieves.

Clinton's imperious demand for censorship is straight from the fascist, er ah, demo-fascist playbook.
