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."

Sandy Berger should be rotting in a dank cell for his crime of stealing National Archive Documents. Will we ever find out what he took, destoyed, lost and perhaps returned to the archives edited, changed, amended, etc.?

haha!
I was hoping that that your last line was a rhetorical question.
"Fake but Accurate...?"
page 129 chapter 7
The White House situation room was buzzing. It was fall of 1998 and the "intelligence community" were tracking the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden, the shadowy mastermind of terrorist attacks on American targets overseas. "They've successfully triangulated his location!" yelled a Sit room watch stander. "We've got him!"
The watch officer notified National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, "Sir, we've located bin Laden. Wehave a two hour window to strike.
Berger ambled down the stairwell and entered the Sit room. He picked up the phone and called the president. Amazingly, Clinton was not available. Berger tried again and again. Bin Laden was within striking distance. The window of opportunity was closing fast. The plan of attack was set and the Tomahawk crew was ready. For about an hour Berger couldn't get the Pres on the line. Though the Pres was always accompanied by military aides and the Secret Service, he was somehow unavailable. Berger stalked the Sit room, anxious and impatient.
Finally the Pres accepted Berger's call. There was discussion-there was pauses-and no decision. The Pres. wanted to talk with his secretaries. He wanted to study the issue further. Berger was forced to wait. The clock was ticking. The Pres. eventually called back. He was still indecisve. He wanted more discussion. Berger alternated between phone calls and watching the clock. The NSC watch officer was convinced we had the right target. The intelligence sources were conclusive. The Pres., however wanted a guaranteed hit or nothing at all.
This time it was nothing at all. We didn't pull the trigger. The window of opportunity closed.
