That's everyday legalese for "If you want to give us an idea, the lawyers have to touch it first."

Just about every media company in America subscribes to that policy, for protection from litigation by angry creative types insisting that "someone stole my idea."

So unless you view a statement of standard office procedure as "threatening," the answer is no, it doesn't come across as threatening at all.

Thanks.
That's the first time that type of statement has shown up in any emails I've received from the networks. Kinda caught me off guard and I wasn't sure what they had in mind.

The answer to that question is the answer to the puzzle.

The answer to the question is ... They couldn't decide *what* to do until it was too late to do anything at all...

Fact is the entire Clinton Administration was in deep over their heads, from the word go. They had less idea about how to actually run the country than your average Joe Sixpack, for all their fancy education, when push came to shove, they froze, repeatedly, in utter indecision...

Someone brought up that this was the same with the Reagan movie.

Not exactly... The "backlash" against the Reagan hit-piece was done strictly and solely by private citizens. There were absolutely *NO* GOP Congresspersons, or Senators, threatening CBS with FCC sanctions as was done here, nor did *any* former GOP President (nor any former member of a former GOP President's staff) utter a single word, either for, or against the production. The comparision is apples to watermelons, anyone who says otherwise is either totally "out to lunch" (permanently), too stupid to draw breath, or is pushing an agenda... You decide which it is for yourself, as I have...

Agreed. People have a right to complain, but I understand that Democrats still in office made veiled threats about licenses, etc.

Government "censorship" is OK if Democrats do it. It's the double standard that gets me.

If Bush did that, the screaming would never cease.

Has he tried to ban that piece of trash that shows him getting shot?

Also, printing Muhammad with a bomb for a head is offensive. So is a crucifix in a jar of urine. Guess which one the MSM showed?

ABC is marginalizing itself.

The deleted scenes will be 1,000 times more famous than the show itself.

Next, the Dem s will have to censor the Internet. they're probably working on that already.

I love a morning rant!!! :)

I contacted them last night. I hope the rest of you will do the same. If all they hear are Liberal voices then they will certainly cave. CONTACT THEM.

I'm guessing that's because vaguely, in the "mind" of some e-mail filter setting deep in the bowels of the mail server, the content of your e-mail was deemed to have some relation to show content, so that boilerplate got automatically sent to you.

At least, that's how I'd set it up if I had the doing, which clearly I don't. ;)

The truth is bad, but for some reason lots of folks here want to deviate from it as if that helps the cause.

Yes, have Mansoor say what he said in his own words in his column on the subject. Which is that Sudan offered OBL not directly to us, but to the Saudis, who refused. And that subsequently Sudan offered a deal to get him to us through an unidentified third-party Gulf ally (later revealed to be Qatar) - and that Qatari intel officials decided not to tell us that OBL was coming through until his plane had already left for Afghanistan.

Were we stupid and inept and dealing with the Sudanese on this? Sure. But the concept that they offered him directly to us is just factually inaccurate, and not even Ijaz claims that.

Monsoor details many offers to take OBL; the Mob, formerly known as the Clinton administration, wanted nothing to do with those offers.

From Monsoor:

In July 2000--three months before the deadly attack on the destroyer Cole in Yemen--I brought the White House another plausible offer to deal with Bin Laden, by then known to be involved in the embassy bombings. A senior counter-terrorism official from one of the United States' closest Arab allies--an ally whose name I am not free to divulge--approached me with the proposal after telling me he was fed up with the antics and arrogance of U.S. counter-terrorism officials.

The offer, which would have brought Bin Laden to the Arab country as the first step of an extradition process that would eventually deliver him to the U.S., required only that Clinton make a state visit there to personally request Bin Laden's extradition. But senior Clinton officials sabotaged the offer, letting it get caught up in internal politics within the ruling family--Clintonian diplomacy at its best.

We do NOT know exactly what Sandy Burglar took...we DO know that some he DESTROYED, and some he changed!!! And NOTHING FREAKING happened to him!!!

Did Sandy Berger serve anytime for destroying government records properties? If not imprisoned did he pay a fine? Does anyone know what his punishment was?

Just why is it the Bush admin. won't call a spade a spade? I'm mystified as to why they don't take the opportunity to pound the Clintonistas with the truth!
Is there a protocol they are following about being kind to a former President and his administration?
The problem with this gloves on approach to the Clinton apologists is that it lends truth to their lies.
These people need to be roundly condemned for what they are doing here... and it would help if the condemnation came from the bully pulpit.

From the little I have culled about this miniseries what they are saying has been common knowledge to conservatives like me for a long time. There is nothing new here that we have not known during Clinton's time in office. It is just the fact that a MSM agent, ABC is willing to show it and more people will view it. I imagine the Clinton machine is trying to coerce ABC with the threat of challenging their broadcast status with some bogus ethics or some such charge.
