"Conservative Author Richard Miniter: ‘There’s Zero Factual Basis’ For Key Scene In Path To 9/11
Today on CNN’s Situation Room, Richard Miniter — conservative author of “Losing bin Laden: How Bill Clinton’s Failures Unleashed Global Terror” — confirmed that scenes in ABC’s Path to 9/11 are based on “Internet myth.”

Miniter singled out a key scene in the film involving former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger as having “zero factual basis”: “If people wanted to be critical of the Clinton years there’s things they could have said, but the idea that someone had bin Laden in his sights in 1998 or any other time and Sandy Berger refused to pull the trigger, there’s zero factual basis for that.” Watch it: here"

1. When even the normal Clinton bashers are critcizing you...

...You know you're fucked.

2. He makes an important point.

There are legitimate things to criticize Bill Clinton over. In 1998, after Clinton ordered the missile attack on Afghanistan, I told a friend I wish he had ordered paratroopers instead.

But that doesn't make ABC completely inventing scenes to show the Clinton Admin failing OK.
