ABC is being Swiftboated. Remember the Swiftboat movie that was taken off the air or forced to change.
That's been on my mind since the path to 9/11 brouhaha began a few days ago. In 2004 Sinclair Broadcasting had twenty-seven stations/markets. Many were local area stations. Not many were the Big Three (4 if you include FOX).
This time it's ABC -- one of the majors.
For a few years the left talking points have been, hate Bush for his inept handling of the war in Iraq and war on terror. That's is and has been the democrat platform. Come November, a solid showing -- gaining seats -- is vital for them to have a reasonable chance in 2008. Obviously many people know or think this. For sure the left knows it.
Path to 9/11 will leave the viewer hating terrorists, not Bush. And secondarily, realize that Bush has been cleaning up after Clinton's inept handling of terrorist.
The Path to 9/11 snatches the rug out from under the democrat platform. Exposes them as a continuation of Clinton's inept policy for dealing (not dealing) with terrorists and terrorism.
The author, John in DC, of the article that began this thread wrote: "This letter is such a major shot across the bow of Disney, it's not even funny." Wrong! It's nothing more than wishful thinking on his part and the reason for his sensationalism.
The Path to 9/11 will sink the democrats at the ballot box in the November mid-term elections. If right now they're not already sunk, and just a listing Titanic The Path will be a half-dozen nails in their coffin. The house of cards the democrats built their platform on will collapse as sure as the twin towers did and bury any hopes of winning anything in 2008.
What if ABC doesn't air The Path? ABC will upload it to the Internet. It'll be all over the Net and on DVD. Their not looking to recoup their $40-million dollar investment by selling advertising/commercials.
Why is ABC doing this? Is it just for ratings at the start of the fall season? I don't think so. Had they been in it just for ratings ABC would have aired The Path in mid October during sweeps week. No. ABC simply woke up to the realization that virtually every American had right after 9/11; if we don't get the terrorists they'll get us/ABC/Disney. Undoubtedly the wisest $40-million dollar investment Disney has made in decades, or ever.

"By ABC's own standard, ABC has gotten it terribly wrong," Lindsey and Band said in their letter.
"The content of this drama is factually and incontrovertibly inaccurate and ABC has a duty to fully correct all errors or pull the drama entirely. It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known."
The letters pointed out examples of scenes they had been told were in the miniseries, but which they said never happened. Albright objected to a scene that she was told showed her insisting on warning the Pakistani government before an airstrike on Afghanistan, and that she was the one who made the warning.
"The scene as explained to me is false and defamatory," she said.
Berger objected to a scene that he was told showed him refusing to authorize an attack on Osama bin Laden despite the request from CIA officials. "The fabrication of this scene (of such apparent magnitude) cannot be justified under any reasonable definition of dramatic license," he wrote.
Lindsey and Band objected to advertisements for the miniseries, which they said suggested that Clinton wasn't paying enough attention to the threat of terrorism.

BINGO! You remind us that they did indeed shoot a missile into a tent in the desert, but OBL had moved on. If OBL was never in anyone's sights, how did we get to see the video of him walking around in the desert?

I have Senate e-mails but not the numbers of the judicial committee. Not sure which committee we should be calling and it might be best if we call just call our own Senators so that not just one committee is getting blasted.

History repeating itself...
Upon the release of Gary Aldrich's book "Unlimited Access" in 1996, White House adviser George Stephanopoulos immediately called TV producers demanding that they give Aldrich no airtime. In terms of TV exposure, Aldrich's book might well have been titled "No Access Whatsoever."
"Larry King Live" and NBC's "Dateline" abruptly canceled their scheduled interviews with Aldrich.

This will never air. ABC doesn't have the guts. Watch for Desperate Housewives repeats or some other cop out.

You know how the DUmmies and lefties have started calling President Bush, king George...because they say he thinks of himself as a "king"...
Well..I can't even think of an analogy of what Hill and Bill are getting away with THIS like they are...
Involving the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SENATE..to keep their reputation from being more tarnished????
There HAS to be a law.

Never assume they're true Americans honoring the Constitution, prefering a republican form of government, supporting individual liberty, respecting states' rights, or defending the American way. Never.
