The Day the Clinton Administration Failed to Kill OBL
This is a scene from "The Path to 9/11." Note that ABC caved into pressure from the Clintons to forbid it's release to DVD. Just look at the comments at Amazon. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/The-Path-11-Harvey-Keitel/dp/B00005JPHZ]Amazon.com: The Path to 9/11: Harvey Keitel, Michael Benyaer, Wendy Crewson, Shirley Douglas, Kevin Dunn, Nabil Elouahabi, Mido Hamada, Barclay Hope, Frank John Hughes, Dan Lauria, Amy Madigan, Art Malik, Michael Murphy, Stephen Root, William Sadler,[/ame] . The scene is when Sandy Berger, who was later found guilty by a federal court for removing /destroying top secret documents before the 9/11 commission could get their hands on them during the Bush Years, hung up on the request to take out OBL.

Clinton Cronies Want to Rewrite History

The controversy over ABC's "The Path to 9/11" has the left in a tizzy. Everyone from left-wing blogger Markos Moulitsas to former President Bill Clinton wants ABC to pull the plug on the docudrama, which is set to air Sunday and Monday.
As far as I know, HumanEvents.com was the first news outlet to carry a review of "The Path to 9/11." Govindini Murty, who runs the Liberty Film Festival, said in the review, "Let me start by saying that 'The Path to 9/11' is one of the best, most intelligent, most pro-American miniseries I've ever seen on TV, and conservatives should support it and promote it as vigorously as possible." (For excellent coverage of the controversy, check out Murty's LIBERTAS blog.)
I probably should've figured liberals would have a fit. When the liberal Center for American Progress began attacking the docudrama, all the pieces fell into place.
New York Times: "Three From Clinton Administration Urge Disney to Cancel or Revise 9/11 Mini-Series"
Washington Post: "Clinton Administration Officials Assail ABC's 'The Path to 9/11'"
United Press International: "Clinton ex-aides criticize 9/11 drama"
New York Post: "Bubba Goes Ballistic on ABC About Its Damning 9/11 Movie Insists Net Pull Drama"
Walt Disney CEO Robert A. Iger, a fellow Ithaca College alumnus, should stand firm. There's no reason to let Bill Clinton and his cronies rewrite the history books to their liking. I'm no fan of Tom Kean, the 9/11 Commission chairman who served as the docudrama's co-executive producer, but even this liberal Republican is getting unfairly smeared.
Thanks to Murty's excellent review, we've been hearing from quite a few angry liberals -- many of them mistakenly contacting our office instead of ABC. Our inbox has been flooded with generic form letters and we've even had a few callers, such as this one (click here to listen) who called the idea of showing the movie to children "illegal."
UPDATE -- 4:22 p.m.: Newsbusters has details of ABC's decision to alter to the docudrama, caving to pressure from the left.
UPDATE -- September 8, 5:37 p.m.: Mike Krempasky at RedState reports that ABC has pulled the plug on its web-based advertising campaign for "The Path to 9/11." I can also confirm, after speaking to my publisher, that ABC pulled its ads from HumanEvents.com as well.
