Do we have a DU lawyer ready to sue ABC for False Advertising?

[johnaries]

ABC is promoting it's "documentary" as being based on the 9/11 Commission Report. It clearly is not, since the 9/11 Report only goes back to 1998 and the movie starts in 1993. The writer also admits that much of his material is based on another book outside of the Commission Report, and it is obvious the bulk of the movie is based on this speculative work and not the actual 9/11 Report.

This should be open and shut!

1. Do You Sue Movies That Say Based On A True Story Too When They

embellish or stray from the factual events?

Based does not mean word for word or confined to.

So you are right, it is open and shut, but not on the side of the fictitious party bringing the suit.

2. and you might want to look at Chapter 2 and 3 of the 9/11

Commission Report, it has whole chapters about events before 1998.

Chapter 3 begins:

COUNTERTERRORISM EVOLVES

In chapter 2, we described the growth of a new kind of terrorism, and a new terrorist organization—especially from 1988 to 1998, when Usama Bin Ladin declared war and organized the bombing of two U.S. embassies. In this chapter, we trace the parallel evolution of government efforts to counter terrorism by Islamic extremists against the United States.
We mention many personalities in this report. As in any study of the U.S. government, some of the most important characters are institutions.We will introduce various agencies, and how they adapted to a new kind of terrorism.

3.1 FROM THE OLD TERRORISM TO THE NEW: THE FIRST WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBING
At 18 minutes after noon on February 26,1993,a huge bomb went off beneath the two towers of the World Trade Center.This was not a suicide attack.The terrorists parked a truck bomb with a timing device on Level B-2 of the under-ground garage, then departed.

3. Clinton has some powerful lawyers

I would think that he already has some on this, so I hope.

4. Without doubt, right-wingers are behind this movie.

Their obvious intention is to muddy the water as to wo actually did what prior to 9/11. They plan on using their exclusive access to the viewing public to BLAME CLINTON and thereby exonerate Bush, insulating im, as much as possible, from his (well-deserved) reputation for f*cking everything up.

The MSM is the enemy. The MSM is the enemy. The MS is the enemy.

And ABC is part of the MSM.
