Since I had to go to the dreaded AOL I went ahead and read the article. I'm very glad that these former administration officials are speaking out; I just hope they're not portrayed as being defensive, and all the other things you can think of that they call Democrats.

"Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Clinton Foundation head Bruce Lindsey and Clinton adviser Douglas Band wrote in the past week to Robert Iger, CEO of ABC's parent The Walt Disney Co., to express concern over "The Path to 9/11." "

"'For dramatic and narrative purposes, the movie contains fictionalized scenes, composite and representative characters and dialogue, and time compression," ABC said in its statement. 'We hope viewers will watch the entire broadcast of the finished film before forming an opinion about it.'"

The letter writers said the miniseries contained factual errors, and that their requests to see it had gone unanswered.

"The letters pointed out examples of scenes they had been told were in the miniseries, but which they said never happened. Albright objected to a scene that she was told showed her insisting on warning the Pakistani government before an airstrike on Afghanistan, and that she was the one who made the warning.

'The scene as explained to me is false and defamatory,' she said.

Berger objected to a scene that he was told showed him refusing to authorize an attack on Osama bin Laden despite the request from CIA officials. 'The fabrication of this scene (of such apparent magnitude) cannot be justified under any reasonable definition of dramatic license,' he wrote.

Lindsey and Band objected to advertisements for the miniseries, which they said suggested that Clinton wasn't paying enough attention to the threat of terrorism.

'While ABC is promoting "The Path to 9/11" as a dramatization of historical fact, in truth it is a fictitious rewriting of history that will be misinterpreted by millions of Americans,' they said. 'Given your stated obligation to "get it right," we urge you to do so by not airing this drama until the egregious factual errors are corrected, an endeavor we could easily assist you with given the opportunity to view the film.'"

Looks like about the same percentage for blame Clinton "a lot" and "yes" will watch.

[Boo Boo]

16. 40 million dollar budget, with no commercial sponsors?

Unbe-fucking-lievable. ABC airs a piece of pure propaganda on behalf of the Bush admin. It's interesting that the part Berger is complaining about actually resembles the decision to deny the use of U.S. troops at Tora Bora which, of course, happened during the Bush Admin.

Cripes.

21. Why doesn't it say, "How much do you hold the George W. Bush

White House responsible for failing to prevent 9/11?"

Why do people forget who was in office?

[Jacobin]

24. Because the whole point of the propaganda is to blame Clinton
