Gore On Path to 9/11: ‘It Would Be Fundamentally Irresponsible To Air Such Distortions’
Former Vice President Al Gore today released a statement criticizing The Path to 9/11 for presenting numerous historical inaccuracies. The statement is below:

By all accounts, “The Path to 9/11″ is riddled with inaccuracies and contains material that directly contradicts the factual findings of the 9/11 Commission. I am deeply concerned that ABC is considering going forward with their plans to broadcast this so-called docudrama. The lessons from the events leading up to that tragedy are too important to trivialize, and it would be fundamentally irresponsible to air such distortions.

3. Jeez--I love that graphic.

Al's tribute to Michael Moore?

4. I suspect it's an homage to Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues"

since it's from a music video. It's a screen capture of Melissa Etheridge's "I Need To Wake Up", which is used at the end of "An Inconvenient Truth". Her video contains footage of Gore from the film and new footage shot for the video. Neil Young's "After The Garden" also uses footage of "An Inconvenient Truth".

5. Kids...

You're right, or course. I think it far more likely that Al is riffing on Dylan. I love Michael Moore, but come on.
