Will ABC Cave on "The Path to 9/11" (Clinton pressuring ABC)
NRO ^ | Andy McCarthy

Posted on 09/01/2006 9:24:55 AM PDT by hipaatwo

I’m hearing all kinds of disturbing, though predictable, stories about a Clintonista offensive against “The Path to 9/11,” an ABC documentary written and produced by Cyrus Nowrasteh ("Into the West"), and directed by David Cunningham ("To End All Wars").  I haven’t seen it yet (although I hope to this weekend), but it is already drawing rave reviews from people who have (the piece is reviewed at FrontPage, here).

  

Apparently, the documentary recounts the bureaucratic bungling and lack of action against al Qaeda that was pervasive prior to the September 11 atrocities.  It is by no means, I understand, pro-Bush.  It is, instead, an effort to present history accurately.  This evidently has many former Clinton officials and apologists in their default kill-the-messenger mode.  Great pressure is being brought to bear on ABC and Disney to reopen the editorial process at this late stage (the documentary is supposed to air on September 10-11) so that the years 1993-2001 may remain forever airbrushed.

  

Will they succeed?  This bears watching.

This reminds me of Kerry's goons pressuring TV stations not to run the movie about the VN POW's, "Stolen Honor."

THEY will see the light, finally, and that is what has Sandy Berge stuffing documents in his pants and Maddie Albright sweating bullets.

And what is more disgusting and maddening is the BUSH DOJ left the SOB off with a slap on the wrist

Imagine if this was a GOP former official that did it

When he was caught I posted nothing would happen to him but was criticized by several posters for being too unbelieving in Bush

Revising history as they want it to be, not as it is.

Maybe they can send Sandy Burglar in to take care of this problem.

Shoving a reel of film into his tighty-whitey's and walking out nonchalantly is too obvious.

Rush alluded, but not by name, to ABLE DANGER...

Able Danger, 9-11 Report, Gorelick, and so much more...

This will make the non-edited tapes like RUSH has worth money as people will want to see and own the unedited version.

Thanks for the post. I put it on my favorites for when I have a chance to filter through them. One of the great things about some freepers is that they are so well organized, collate articles and put it at our fingertips. Thanks.

Arkancide?

If I had to guess, I'd guess that. The info two staffers dug up in a morning made Reno and her 'advisers' look like they had committed premeditated mass murder, which is my take on the situation, anyway.

Had angle that been pursued, the feces could really have hit the fan.

As it played out, no Fed got a 'spanking' over it.

The whole thing upset enough people that it manufactured ready-made 'justification' for the existence of anti-Clinton 'radical religious angry white right winged terrorists' that everything was pretty much blamed on for the duration of the regime.

There was a Kennedy who met a similar fate not too long after that, but I really hadn't heard of any before or since. Without more details, though, (additional ski tracks, protruding pointy broken branch or not?) I can't say for certain.
