Bill Clinton Breaks Silence On 9/11 Docudrama
By Greg Sargent

President Bill Clinton has finally broken his silence and weighed in on the controversy over the forthcoming docudrama on the attacks on the Twin Towers, "The Path to 9/11." In response to our resquest for a comment on President Clinton's opinion of the docudrama, Clinton spokesman Jay Carson emailed us a statement questioning the film's depiction of Clinton's record and suggesting that it wasn't a "serious treatment" of the facts.

"The record shows that President Clinton was committed to and focused on stopping terrorism every day," Carson emailed us, "and that his administration had many significant successes on this front, and he expects that any serious treatment of history would reflect that."

8. Yes they did with pictures of him with
Monica!

I was furious.

However, as much as I LOVE Bill Clinton, maybe now he will see how much of a friend his Poppy GHWBush is ~ he is so foolish for this association.

10. That's the spin of choice - make Clinton sound like he wants a cover up.

9. The movie no doubt overlooks
That Berger and others, including Clarke, told Bush that bin Laden was Job One. So did the Hart/Rudman report, which they drop-kicked into the nearest garbage can, saying "Dick will get to that after he gets through stealing the world's oil."

17. "suggesting that it wasn't a 'serious treatment' of the facts"
When has Disney ever treated facts seriously, seriously?
