Mean Hillary won't allow Path to 9.11 on DVD! (???!)

Is Clinton's candidacy blocking 'Path to 9/11'?


Thus far, few have noted the DVD's absence in the marketplace. Among those who have are conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh, who questioned last month why the disc isn't available on the nation's retail shelves. (Limbaugh and Nowrasteh have met on several occasions but do not regularly socialize, Nowrasteh said.) - O-ket d-okey then!

But voices traditionally associated with the political left are disturbed by the DVD's uncertain fate. This isn't about politics, said film director Oliver Stone, but about the right of artists to have their work distributed.

"This is a shame; it's censorship in the most blatant way," said Stone, who has hired Nowrasteh for several writing projects. "I'm not vouching for its accuracy -- it's a dramatization -- but it's an important work and needs to be seen."

1. It's neocon propaganda.
"9/11: Press For Truth" is the one to watch.

2. Oliver Stone is an asshole for associating with Nowrasteh.

9. I was stunned myself by it - I guess he lost his compass somewhere.

4. The article makes a good point. Why is it not out on DVD?
The article is definitely written from the Right's point of view, but there are nevertheless the legitimate questions: Who is making the decision not to release the DVD, and why?

'Path to 9/11' was a rightwing pile of steaming shit designed to blame Bill Clinton's sexual adventures for the attack on 9-11. But that is a separate issue. Maybe ABC doesn't want another PR battle. While it doesn't make sense that ABC is withholding it to help Clinton (they're part of Disney - a right-wing media corporation), the question still needs to be answered.

6. I thought I editiorialized it - by title and choice of paragraphs
Obviously I don't believe anyone censors the piece of trash - or it deserves to be on the sjelves.

5. A scary hypothesis
is that they are holding it for the "right time". Maybe around 9/11/08.
