It sounds like the ABC "docu-drama" does have scenes that are "false but accurate".

They should present the absolute truth where we know it. That would make it a more effective indictment of the guilty.

They do. Don't fall for the Democrat line. The "fictionalized" scenes are merely ones where there is a dispute as to what actually occured, based on multiple sources. For instance, in the Berger "phone slam" incident, this is what the ex-CIA commander claims he did. Berger denies it. Tenet said it was one of Jamie Gorelick's aides instead. The Commission rather than draw a conclusion, merely omitted it. But it DID HAPPEN. The Administration pulled the plug on the attack that would have killed Bin Laden. It is not "fictionalized". It is dramatized to be Berger haning up on the CIA operative because you cannot effectively present multiple versions of the same event. This same method has been used in every "docudrama" in film history, such as "All The President's Men", "The Day Reagan Was Shot", "Raid on Entebbe", etc.
