It's simply stunning to think that as this fall's election
approaches, a major television network would devote six hours of
prime-time programming to air such a slanted and inaccurate program.
There is simply no way that a conservative writer, with an
anti-Clinton axe to grind, should be allowed to use public airwaves
to broadcast a gross distortion of the truth -- especially on the
anniversary of the worst day in our history.

ABC: Tell the Truth About 9/11

On September 10th and 11th, ABC -- which is owned by Disney -- is
planning to air a "docu-drama" called "Path to 9/11," which is being
billed as "an objective telling of the events of 9/11." In fact, the
film was written by an unabashed conservative who twists the facts to
blame President Clinton.

In fact, the list of counterterrorism initiatives undertaken by the
Clinton administration is lengthy and comprehensive. Regrettably, the
record shows that most of these efforts were watered down or abandoned
by the Bush administration when they came into office. History will
also record that President Bush was the one who received -- and while
on vacation, chose to ignore -- a Presidential Daily Briefing on August
6, 2001 entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US."

ABC's new six-hour film was apparently screened in advance only to
conservative bloggers and journalists -- and received extensive praise
from none other than Rush Limbaugh. ABC is advertising the film as
being "based on the 9/11 Commission report" -- yet also admits that
it's a "docu-drama," in which writers and producers are free to invent
and distort facts. Former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke has
already completely refuted one of the key scenes of the movie.

It's simply stunning to think that as this fall's election approaches,
a major television network would devote six hours of prime-time
programming to air such a slanted and inaccurate program. There is
simply no way that a conservative writer, with an anti-Clinton axe to
grind, should be allowed to use public airwaves to broadcast a gross
distortion of the truth -- especially on the anniversary of the worst
day in our history.
