My "baby brother" was just a hero on the re-inactment show, "SWAT"!!!! I'm so proud!!! At one point the narrator said that these policemen have families who love them. I wanted to say, "That's ME!"

TORONTO -- Five years after 9-11, it's apparent that we all aren't getting along. And the political left is throwing plenty of mean punches. A case in point is that new Bush snuff movie, "Death of a President." Some might say that "snuff movie" is too strong a term -- but how else to describe a movie that clearly revels in the prospect of George W. Bush's being assassinated? Anyone who doubts that movies still have the power to stir up passions ought to come here, to the Toronto International Film Festival, which rates as the most important movie conclave...

The whining of Democrats and ex-Clintonistas about the “docudrama” The Path to 9/11 has given us all another example of liberal mendacity and hypocrisy. Start with the total silence of the usual civil liberties suspects to say a word about this attempt at stifling someone’s First Amendment right to free speech. Where are the ACLU and its usual clichés about the “chilling effects” of such attempts? Where are all the blowhard academics who noisily defended the noxious Ward Churchill? Where are all the quotes from John Stuart Mill usually trotted out on these occasions? Of course these are rhetorical questions,...

There have been few political love stories as beautiful as that of Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton, the former chairman and vice chairman of the 9/11 commission. "I have never worked with anybody I've come to respect more than Lee Hamilton," Republican Kean said at a Sept. 11 fifth-anniversary joint performance with Hamilton yesterday. "He is one of the preeminent public servants of our day, bar none," came Democrat Hamilton's well-worn reply. So it packed even more punch when Hamilton, at the National Press Club luncheon, lectured his friend about the falsified Sept. 11 docudrama Kean helped ABC produce....

NEW YORK - "The Path to 9/11" will break your heart. It will leave you unnerved, even more than before. And angrier than ever. A five-hour miniseries that dramatizes a decade's worth of events leading up to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, this film is plenty gripping. It doesn't forgo artistry for polemics.Even so, it drives home, step by step, a message any viewer can understand: The people in charge of keeping you safe failed the nation monumentally. Systemically. Shamefully. And continue to, five years after what should have been a terribly sufficient wake-up call.Then "The Path to 9/11"...

Bill Clinton denies it now, but he once admitted he passed up an opportunity to extradite Osama bin Laden.And NewsMax has the former President making the claim on audiotape. [You can listen to the tape yourself -- Click HereClinton's comments and his actions relating to American efforts to capture bin Laden have taken on renewed interest because of claims made in a new ABC movie, the "Path to 9/11," that suggests Clinton dropped the ball during his presidency. Clinton has also angrily denied claims the Monica Lewinsky scandal drew his attention away from dealing with national security matters like...

September 10, 2006 -- Bill Clinton's camp yesterday demanded that ABC can its controversial film "The Path to 9/11," due to air tonight - and in a scathing new letter accused the network of exploiting the tragedy for ratings. Clinton's wrath comes amid new revelations that the Toronto set of the fictionalized flick was plagued by actors' concerns that the script was playing fast and loose with the truth, sources told The Post. Clinton's lawyer, Douglas Band, and the CEO of his foundation, Bruce Lindsey, penned the fuming missive to ABC bigwig Bob Iger. It was dated Friday but released...

Part one shown on Australian TV this evening.Don't miss it, my Freeper friends. It's no wonder the Clintonistas have thrown everything at ABC/Disney, in a desperate effort to have the miniseries cancelled. Documents exactly what we've been following over the years on FR. Brave agents on the ground in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Dedicated people at Langley and the J. Edgar Hoover building, working around the clock to capture or kill Bin Laden, Ramzi Yusef et al. And all their efforts derailed by Clinton appointees like Berger and Allbright- selfishly putting their own careers (and covering their asses) before protecting the...

<p>I didn't hear if anyone was planning for a live thread of the film tonight. Just in case anyone wants to start early. Some in Australia already have seen part 1.</p>

The Democrats threatened ABC/Disney over "The Path to 9/11" - but what's so extraordinary that legislators in the federal government would use their power so...cravenly? Apparently, the truth hurts. (UPDATE: and now Clinton's lawyers have weighed in) RedState (thanks to the folks at Traditional Values Coalition) is proud to present, the video in dispute. It's broken up into six segments.

After minor edits in response to Democratic critics, the miniseries will air as scheduled. It's already set off a bitter election-year dispute. Walt Disney Co.'s ABC is forging ahead with plans to air a miniseries starting Sunday despite controversy over its efforts to dramatize — and some say unfairly politicize — the events leading up to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Producers said late Friday that they had finished making minor edits to "The Path to 9/11" amid a firestorm of protests from leading Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who warned that telecasting "right-wing political propaganda" might violate...

Can viewers at least watch the ABC miniseries about 9/11, instead of having someone decide for them whether it's an informative "docudrama" or a partisan hack job? ABC and its parent company, Disney, shouldn't cave in to critics who want the network to cancel the five-hour movie, The Path to 9/11, scheduled to air tomorrow and Monday nights. These critics include Senate Democratic leaders, who are worried that the miniseries will portray Clinton administration officials unfairly in the hunt for Osama bin Laden. They wrote a heavy-handed letter to Disney CEO Robert Iger, reminding him of his duty "as a...

As ABC prepares to air their mini-series regarding the events leading to the events on 9/11, the left is up in arms over the docudrama's implications that former President Clinton's inaction greatly contributed to the attacks of 9/11. I will save that debate for later. What bothers me most about this whole thing is the whiny rhetoric coming from the left, as they launch attack after attack on ABC, calling for truth and honest representations in the mini-series. 'The Path to 9/11', as it is called, has a number of top democrats crying foul and slinging allegations of political bias...

BBC to Unleash Supervolcano Disaster Film By Anita Singh, PA Showbusiness Editor The BBC has made a disaster movie which predicts one billion people will be wiped off the earth by a “supervolcano”. The £3 million drama claims America’s Yellowstone National Park is due an eruption of cataclysmic proportions. If – or when – it does erupt, 100,000 Americans will be killed in minutes by a giant cloud of burning ash. But the volcano will have such a profound effect on the global climate that up to one billion people will die as a result, the programme will claim. The...

ABC News' president has cautioned reporters that their mission in reporting on the CBS document story is not to stick it to a competitor. ABC is hot on the story, breaking ground by unearthing a document examiner who warned a CBS producer of the Bush records’ questionable status, but nobody's gloating. In a memo sent last week, ABC News President David Westin issued a directive for covering the allegedly forged memos cited on 60 Minutes. “We need to stick as close to the facts and what we know about them as possible,” he wrote, because, noting, ABC could be in...

Something to Yak About – DNC Clings To Disintegrating Docu-Drama in Latest Attack on BushExhibiting a bizarre display of poor political judgment, the Democratic National Committee launched a scurrilous new attack on President Bush Tuesday, apparently banking their electoral hopes on some documents used in a CBS ’60 Minutes’ report that are increasingly being tagged by experts as bogus. While The Yak is certain the folks at DNC headquarters are leaping with joy over their video assault on the president, the news went over like a lead zeppelin a couple blocks away in the office of Republican National Committee Communications...

Michael Moore's politically charged movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" - which opens today throughout Orange County after weeks of controversy - has spurred strong reactions among interest groups, who are either mobilizing to see the film or urging theater owners not to show it. One Irvine activist has purchased all the seats for a 7:30 screening tonight at his local theater. He's reselling the tickets at face value and inviting attendees to a premiere party afterward. Meanwhile, another organization has launched a letter-writing and e-mail campaign, exhorting cinema companies not to carry the film.

Wow! Am watching this now - powerful stuff.They make Bush and the cabinet look GREAT!

An upcoming TV docudrama chronicling President Bush's actions in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks blames President Clinton's "weakness" for leaving America vulnerable to the disaster. Titled "DC/9/11: A Time of Crisis" and set for broadcast Sunday night on Showtime, the film "rarely misses a chance to suggest that the Clinton administration's weakness was to blame for the disaster," reported the New York Times on Friday. In one poignant exchange, Bush is shown telling Prime Minister Tony Blair, "I want to inflict pain . . bring enough damage so they understand there is a new team here, a...
