ABC has been aggressively advancing its inaccurate and politically slanted miniseries, “The Path to 9/11,” to the right wing. Big players like Rush Limbaugh have been provided copies, as have obscure right-wing bloggers like Patterico.

But ABC has refused to provide a copy to President Clinton’s office. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former National Security Adviser Samuel Berger have also requested copies of the film from ABC, and both have been denied. Both Berger and Albright are harshly criticized in the film in scenes that, according to former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, are “180 degrees from what happened.”

Since this is a campaign piece for the GOP, Dems should get equal time - to tell what really happened.

2. Speaks volumes doesn't it?

Proof in a nutshell of what kind of crap-o-drama that piece of garbarge is. HELL NO they don't want Clinton seeing it,they know his lawyers would be on the phone within minutes.

Sue their fucking ass Clinton. Since when has a Repuke understood anything other than $$$$$?

4. This is just a campaign promo for the GOP. That's why the Dems should get

equal time --- to tell what really happened.

3. How are BC, SB, and MA demanding that ABC pull it if they haven't seen it?

Please understand, I respect all three of them, but did they see a copy from some RWer? How are they making their judgement unless they saw the film?

5. actually that is a good question

I thought several of Clinton's people had seen parts ? Is there a copy on the web yet?

6. Not that I know of. n/t

8. The reviews are in (and they are really bad) so it has been

distributed to the critics. I'm sure a few or more are friendly enough with the former administration to call with a personal review.

10. CNN has been airing clips of the Sandy Berger scene.

there is that much alone to go after. I have to think the letter one of Clinton's attornies has already written had to be based on something legally concrete.

7. Still holding out? Fools.

When it's all done, if ABC hasn't cleaned it up radically, I hope the defamed parties sue their asses off. I hope they bankrupt them.

9. Cyrus Nowrasteth, screenwriter for Path to 9/11 is on Hannity right now

All the rightwingers have seen this crap, yet the Democratic players that were there are denied the chance to see how they were portrayed.
