Clinton Wants it Yanked

Stop the insanity!

Enough already!

The way Bill Clinton and the Dems are acting you would think that the airing of ABC's mini-series The Path to 9/11 is the most dangerous threat our country has ever faced.


From CBC:

ABC appears to be bending to pressure concerning its miniseries about the events leading to the Sept. 11 attacks.

Bill Clinton says scenes in the miniseries Path to 9/11 should be scrapped if they contradict the 9/11 Commission Report. The network said Path to 9/11 is being edited to deal with mounting concerns about its accuracy, but stated on Friday that "criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible."

But Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety reported Saturday the network is considering dropping the miniseries.

Historians have joined with Democrats to present a petition of 200,000 signatures urging the network to cancel the five-hour drama, scheduled to air Sunday and Monday nights.

It would have been nice if Dems could have put that much energy into responding to the terrorism of the 1990s.

They seem to consider a TV program to be the end of the world. A series of terrorist attacks, on the other hand, is just a little law enforcement thing.

"You can't fix it, you gotta yank it," said former security adviser Samuel R. Berger on CNN.

Berger knows about yanking. He "yanked" documents out of the National Archives, and then destroyed some of them by cutting them up with a scissors.

Originally, he claimed to have misplaced the documents that he supposedly removed accidentally. Another excuse was that he threw them away unintentionally.

Berger certainy does practice what he preaches. When it can't be fixed, yank it.

Berger, former U.S. president Bill Clinton and ex-secretary of state Madeleine Albright are at the centre of the storm over Path to 9/11, which purports to be a re-telling of the 9/11 Commission Report.

The series depicts scenes in which the three are implicated in allowing the extremists to complete their mission, either through indecision or their failure to catch or kill the 9/11 plotters.

Uh, that would also be known as THE TRUTH.

Read a little about the Clinton's administration's incompetence here.

...A group of historians agree with Clinton. They wrote to the CEO of Walt Disney, the parent of ABC, calling the inaccuracies "disingenuous and dangerous."

"A responsible broadcast network should have nothing to do with the falsification of history, except to expose it," wrote the historians, which included Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and Sean Wilentz of Princeton University.

Is The Path to 9/11 a documentary? Is it a product of ABC's news division? No. It's from the network's entertainment division.

Right. "A responsible broadcast network should have nothing to do with the falsification of history."

Then I guess CBS should have its license revoked for using forged documents in an effort to bring down President Bush.

Executive producer of the miniseries, Marc Platt, stresses that it is a docudrama: "I hope people will watch the film and draw their own conclusions."

The Democratic National Committee has accused the filmmakers of creating a "right-wing factually inaccurate mocu-drama."

They've really gone berserk!

I wouldn't be surprised if Sandy Berger breaks into ABC and smuggles the mini-series out of the builiding, unwittingly of course.
