BREAKING: Albright and Berger Call On ABC To ‘Withdraw’ Path to 9/11

Think Progress has obtained a new letter from former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former National Security Adviser Samuel Berger. The letter calls on Thomas Kean, 9/11 Commission Chairman and co-executive producer of Path to 9/11, to exert his “influence to persuade ABC to withdraw the broadcast.” Read the letter HEREhttp://websrvr80il.audiovideoweb.com/il80web20037/ThinkProgress/2006/AlbrightBerger.pdf .

An excerpt:

Whether your broadcast purports to be based on the 9/11 Report in whole - or only in part - is increasingly beside the point. The dramatic impact of a costly but carelessly produced film will invariably overwhelm the impression of any government document.

Amidst alarming reports that irresponsible theories about the events of 9/11 have begun to gain currency with the American people, you should not want to lend your personal reputation to a production which seems likely to instigate new and dangerous falsehoods. And so we ask that you use your influence to persuade ABC to withdraw the broadcast altogether. Failing that, we urge you to sever your relationship with this grossly misleading production.

1. Unless ABC pulls this POS, I will BOYCOTT DISNEY/ABC properties!

[killermedic]

9. I agree totally

We should be boycotting on an individual or group basis but with all these bigwig polititians getting involved, I feel that we are walking a thin line towards state approved censorship. I believe that as long as we remain loud and verbal it is just free advertising for those whoare curiou but ignorant of what really happened.

2. NEVER f#ck with Madeleine Albright. LOL!

A woman after my own heart.

[lvx35]

6. yeah totally... Translation to english:

"There is already so much bullshit about 9/11 flying around that about half the people in America find conspiracy theories equally or more credible, and throwing your piece of shit onto the the stack is't going to help things"

[DoYouEverWonder]

5. Enough is enough

I wonder what they show about John O'Neill- think they have him complaining about the Bush administration and quiting because of his investigations being impeded?

[mhatrw]

11. That's a dangerous tack to take, IMHO.

We don't like The Path to 9/11 because it's a bunch of cult funded lies about 9/11.

By tying their displeasure to this production to "irresponsible theories about the events of 9/11" (for example, LIHOP & MIHOP), these folks are making an argument for whitewashing rather than an argument for truth.

12. ABC will cost the repugs loss of the senate with BS flick

[AX10]

13. I hope that happens.

[bliss_eternal]

15. I'd threaten to boycott, but...

...I quit buying/watching anything of theirs quite a while ago. So it'd be a pretty empty threat, I guess.

18. ABC lost my interest as a viewer years ago....

They have lost touch with middle America, and only cater to the rich elite that are running scared, and want the public to do the same as when we into "action" after 9/11. Two thousand, six hundred, and sixty-seven Americans who will never come home because they died for nothing. Iraq Coalition Casualty Court They died because of lies and failed leadership. PERIOD!

19. The long and winding Path to 9/11

Well, could not we go further back in our time machine and ask:
What the hell did George Bush I do to stop Osama? I mean why not do that? He had the whole middle east in his grubby little hands back in 1991, so why not take Osama out right then either?

Now HERE is a concept for y'all,

It has struck me that this "non-issue" (really if you think about all the treason this admin is doing, this is a non-issue) is REALLY the DLC re-asserting itself as the controller of ALL things Democrat.
I mean it is all a Clinton (+administration) face saving thing that now supposedly ALL god Dems come to the aid of their "fearless leader." Well, it really is sapping our "momentum" on other more important issues, and the corporate controlled DLC KNOWS THAT.

So, I have stayed outside the blogosphere on this one, except for the few phone calls to ABC radio to gnash my teeth on the air, with the likes of Levin (the Zionist) and the new idiot (Jerry) last night taking over Laura Ingram's 8-10 slot in the NY ABC market.

Screw Disney and ABC, they were the next to fall to the nazis after Fox anyway, everyone knew that. I believe that ABC is also stirring the pot to get all good Dems back into the DLC fold, as Hilary was starting to get REALLY antsy at the calls to debate Tasini and with Lamont, and the Screw the DLC push happening as of late, I feel this is the motive for the over-hype of this non-issue.

This all just another Corporate-control of our sense of "what is important."
