Variety Now Says ABC Might "Yank Mini"! CALL, PROTEST YR LOCAL ABCs!!

[Dems Will Win]

Breathless anticipation...

The Path to 9/11" is looking a lot like "The Reagans, Part II."

Bill Clinton loyalists are demanding wholesale changes to the upcoming miniseries -- and while ABC is making some snips, the alterations, insiders say, may not please the Dems.

But a bombshell decision may happen anyway: Sources close to the project say the network, which has been in a media maelstrom over the pic, is mulling the idea of yanking the mini altogether.

As for specific criticisms -- and changes -- the original mini contained a scene in which then-National Security Adviser Sandy Berger declines to give the CIA authority to capture or kill Osama bin Laden, even when CIA operatives know where the al-Qaeda leader is.

"This account has been expressly contradicted by Richard Clarke, a high-ranking counterterrorism official in both the Clinton and Bush administrations," certain lawmakers wrote in a letter to Disney topper Bob Iger.

While ABC declined to comment on specific changes, it's believed that the Berger scene was among those being reworked.

...

Four senior Democratic lawmakers also joined the chorus of former Clinton administration officials calling for removal of what they claim are "false assertions of blame" and "partisan spin" in the mini.

4. LOL! You should ask them if that includes Nazis and Klansmen

The whole "all points of view" should be discussed seriously is nonsense and, in this case, it is merely a flimsy shield for those in the position of being gatekeepers of OUR nations airwaves.

Actors: http://abc.go.com/movies/thepathto911/bios/harvey_keitel.html

I had to go there to see just what ACTORS would involve themselves in such a monstrosity. Harvey Keitel is the biggest name, I presume.
