So was the scene deleted because Burglar:

a. Wanted ben Laden killed?

b. Didn't want ben Laden killed?

The answer to that question is the answer to the puzzle.

[George W. Bush]

That was predictably quick.

I think they had planned to do this all along. They only dangled the uncut version to try to increase conservative audience share.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

"The network also decided that the credits would say the film is based "in part" on the 9/11 panel report, rather than "based on" the report, as the producers originally intended."

[My2Cents]

ABC tweaks its 9/11 mini-series

By "tweaking," do they mean they now imply 9/11 was an inside job?

[Robert DeLong]

No surprise here, I knew ABC would not air this as it was made.

[elfman2]

I didn't think it would last. But this'll cause more attention to be focused on it.

[AmishDude]

The 9/11 panel report is so full of guesswork and false portrayals of people (I understand that the idiot Richard Clarke comes off as a prophet in this movie) and yet this event is a key one that we know happened. We have confirmation from Clinton himself, even though he wants to retract it.

That scene needs to be on YouTube.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Moral cowards! I can't say that I'm surprised though...

[bpjam]

Clinton is running a cult. Lets face it. These clintonites, or butt monkeys if you prefer, are still working for him even though they don't get paid and they no longer have titles. They literally give their lives to Clinton (until he needs them to take the indictment or fly a small plane down in Arkansas) out of love for clinton alone. They defend Clinton like Pat Robertson would defend Jesus or NOW defends abortion. Liberalism is a religion, but Clintonism is a cult. Maybe that's why they had to kill all those people in Waco - wipe out the competition.

[afnamvet]

This just proves that Clinton and the rest of the donks could care less about the WOT and national security. They want to hide all of their treasonous behavior.

9/11 Timeline: "Intelligence Warnings"

1998: Indonesia Gives US Warning of 9/11 Attack?

Hendropriyono, the Indonesian chief of intelligence, will later claim that, “[we] had intelligence predicting the September 11 attacks three years before it happened but nobody believed us.” He says Indonesian intelligence agents identify bin Laden as the leader of the group plotting the attack and that the US disregards the warning, but otherwise offers no additional details. The Associated Press notes, “Indonesia’s intelligence services are not renowned for their accuracy.” [Associated Press, 7/9/2003]

1999: British Intelligence Warns al-Qaeda Plans to Use Aircraft, Possibly as Flying Bombs

MI6, the British intelligence agency, gives a secret report to liaison staff at the US embassy in London. The reports states that al-Qaeda has plans to use “commercial aircraft” in “unconventional ways,” “possibly as flying bombs.” [Sunday Times (London), 6/9/2002]

March 1999: Germany Provides CIA Hijacker’s Name and Telephone Number

German intelligence gives the CIA the first name of hijacker Marwan Alshehhi and his telephone number in the United Arab Emirates. The Germans learned the information from surveillance of suspected Islamic militants. They tell the CIA that Alshehhi has been in contact with suspected al-Qaeda members Mohammed Haydar Zammar and Mamoun Darkazanli. He is described as a United Arab Emirates student who has spent some time studying in Germany. [US Congress, 7/24/2003; Deutsche Presse-Agentur (Hamburg), 8/13/2003; New York Times, 2/24/2004] The Germans consider this information “particularly valuable” and ask the CIA to track Alshehhi, but the CIA never responds until after the 9/11 attacks. The CIA decides at the time that this “Marwan” is probably an associate of bin Laden but never track him down. It is not clear why the CIA fails to act, or if they learn his last name before 9/11. [New York Times, 2/24/2004] The Germans monitor other calls between Alshehhi and Zammar, but it isn’t clear if the CIA is also told of these or not (see September 21, 1999).

August 12, 2000: Italian Intelligence Wiretap of al-Qaeda Cell Reveals Massive Aircraft-based Strike

Italian intelligence successfully wiretap the al-Qaeda cell in Milan, Italy from late 1999 until the summer of 2001. [Boston Globe, 8/4/2002] In a wiretapped conversation from this day, suspected Yemeni Abdulsalam Ali Abdulrahman tells wanted Egyptian Mahmoud Es Sayed about a massive strike against the enemies of Islam involving aircraft and the sky, a blow that “will be written about in all the newspapers of the world. This will be one of those strikes that will never be forgotten. ... This is a terrifying thing. This is a thing that will spread from south to north, from east to west: The person who came up with this program is a madman from a madhouse, a madman but a genius.” In another conversation, Abdulrahman tells Es Sayed: “I’m studying airplanes. I hope, God willing, that I can bring you a window or a piece of an airplane the next time we see each other.” The comment is followed by laughter. Beginning in October 2000, FBI experts will help Italian police analyze the intercepts and warnings. Neither Italy nor the FBI will understand their meaning until after 9/11. [Boston Globe, 8/4/2002]

Clinton too busy engaging in infidelity with a girl his daughter's age.

"Hey Bubba! 9/11 is YOUR BABY! Weeeee - doooogie!

I guess now I'll watch the football game instead.

[FreedomNeocon]

Not at all surprising.

I'll be looking forward to the UNCENCORED version making its way to bittorent or youtube.

[Peter W. Kessler]

Well, I was going to watch it...

[wolfcreek]

They should have told Clintoon , " Your a worthless, dried up, has-been of a president. Go screw yourself, asshole" IMHO

[omega4179]

But the 9/11 panel was a whitewash by pit bull dems and milquetoast rinos!?
