9/11 Commissioners Criticize ‘The Path to 9/11′
ABC continues to advertise “The Path to 9/11″ as “based on the 9/11 Commission report.”

The people who wrote the 9/11 Commission report disagree. Here’s a review of their comments —

9/11 Commissioner Jamie Gorelick:

“I do have a problem if you make claims that the program is based upon the findings of the 9/11 Commission Report when the actors, scenes and statements in the series are not found in — and, indeed, are contradicted by — our findings.”

9/11 Commissioner Richard Ben-Veniste:

Some scenes in the film “complete fiction. … The mischaracterizations tended to support the notion that the president was not attentive to anti-terrorism concerns. That was the opposite from what the 9/11 commission found.”

9/11 Commissioner Tim Roemer:

In the scene, CIA operatives have Osama bin Laden cornered and are poised to capture or kill him until National Security Adviser Samuel Berger refuses to give the go-ahead. … embers of the 9/11 Commission say none of that ever happened.

ROEMER: There were plans, not an operation in place. Secondly, Osama bin Laden was never in somebody’s sights. Thirdly, on page 114 of our report we say George Tenet took responsibility for pulling the plug on that particular Tarnak Farms operation.

9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey:

“If you’re saying this is based on the 9/11 Commission report, there are substantial factual discrepancies. You need to get out. … You can’t sit there as ABC and say, ‘Gee, we don’t have any responsibility. They should make a good faith effort to get this as close to the facts as possible.”

You'd think the original lies were good enough! I'd be pissed too!

3. Kerrey says it best "Gee, we don't have any responsibility."

referring to ABC. Well if they are working for the PNAC enslaved bush administration they certainly don't have any responsibility to the American public or the truth or integrity. "Conservatives" have no use for responsibility.
