WASHINGTON — Out in time for the seventh commemoration of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, a new documentary alleges that powerful politicians and a biased media effectively censored the controversial ABC miniseries “The Path To 9/11."
The new release, titled “Blocking “The Path To 9/11,'” claims that powerful Democratic figures and popular left-wing bloggers managed to scuttle an earlier version of the 2006 docudrama after spreading several baseless allegations in an attempt to get the program cut from ABC's prime time line-up.
The new film refutes those allegations using official documentation about the terror attacks and interviews with industry insiders and individuals involved in the making of the miniseries.
The two-part special, which aired on Sept. 10-11, 2006, was always meant to be a fictional dramatization of the events that led to Sept. 11 and its aftermath, say the film’s makers. But after screenings, former President Bill Clinton, notable Democrats on Capitol Hill and their supporters slammed it as a partisan attack and demanded it be pulled.
Several Clinton supporters filed protests with the network and voiced complaints in news interviews at the time of “Path”’s release. The new documentary notes that the interviews make it evident that neither those protesting the film nor the commentators discussing it ever watched the pair of episodes.
For example, former Clinton Secretary of State Madeline Albright wrote a letter to Disney CEO Robert Iger complaining that she had heard the film depicted her giving the Pakistanis advance warning of a missile strike on Usama bin Laden.

Can’t wait to see it!!!
I can’t wait until they make the film about the making of THIS film.
I remember that. There was no “cover up”. Libs did it loudly, proudly and openly....
Yeah! And the sequel to that one will be really something!
This is rich. Madeline allscarf fearing exposure of her stinky job. That old bat still thinks she was something to behold.
When and what network will broadcast this? I want to see this.
Don't know about that, but a pretty accurate depiction of madam not-so-bright would have been scratching her butt while looking distractedly in the wrong direction.
