    Path to 9/11:Clinton and his cronies want it censored

    The ABC mini-series about events leading up to 9/11
    http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/0...vie/index.html

    What is he afraid of, that the truth about what happened during his administration?
    How many chances he had to kill OBL but did not have the guts?
    His legacy?

    Can you imagine the uproar if GWB had complained about the series?
    And you can bet they won't hold anything back in that respect so why should Clinton get any kid glove treatment?
    .
    .

    Arguing with a troll is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig, after a couple of hours you realize the pig likes it.

      mm.. its not even supposed to be a documentary right? so I would understand the guy's concern as a lot of people will probably watch it as a documentary. Just look at the original poster.

        It's a docudrama. Many people (as evident by the initial poster) will take it as fact. I would have serious problems if my name and "legacy" was dragged through the mud as well.

            I could have sworn that they (democrats) were upset because this is a mockumentary (or a docudrama) that combines some real information with a lot of dramatized scenes, with some of the scenes being completely fictional? This seems almost identical to the stuff that Michael Moore has been doing in his shitty movies.

            The writer, Cyrus Nowrasteh (a very staunch Republican), stated at the very beginning "In my writing and directing, I don?t want to just be a conservative version of Michael Moore"? yet it seems vibrantly clear that Mr. Nowrasteh is doing EXACTLY what Moore is/has been doing lmao. Talking about the pot calling the kettle black.

              I know its a dramatization, which seems if Clinton knows that whats he worried about?

              Protect his legacy at all cost?
              Its not a good one and not much of one so, big deal.

                History channel already did a good portion of this with Target Bin Laden a few years ago. That got hidden quick too. Funny they dont like it when they bring facts to light of what Clinton really did.

                    5 years after the fact, what good does it do to "blame" Clinton... Peoples actions often look stupid in the light of hindsite. So seriously.. why now?

                      A lot of people will take it as fact (as indicated by the OP), and it will hurt Bill Clinton's image possibly. If I was being blamed for the biggest disaster ever (in US), when it wasn't my fault, I'd argue against the false claims too.

                          Actually in full context it makes him sound way.. WAY worse lmao. So he calls MM a control socialist weasel, dogging him (sure he?s using a movie quote to do it but it?s obvious what he thinks) then he goes around and does the SAME DAMN THING that Michael Moore does in his films lmao. In full context it shows just how much of a hypocritical jackass that guy truly is.

                            Michael Moore got a pass for shit that was clearly made the fuck up. ABC makes a DRAMA about 9/11 and gets shit from the Clinton camp? Give me a fucking break, it's so lame.

                                o fuck may I laugh a lil louder then normal? How the FUCK can any government fuck up worse then the Bush admin? That's right, none. He already got impeached for letting his cock suck by some broad, and Bush never got shit for sending 1000's of soldiers to their deaths. This is truly too fucking funny.

                                Bush supporters, or any fucking government supporter, is a fucking SHEEP.

                                    I disagree, but you are enttiled to your opinion as am I.
                                    Michael Moore is a fuckin socialist who hates America, would not know the truth if it stared him in the face.
                                    He gets off on humiliating people he disagrees with.

                                    Cyrus at least uses the facts to base the series on, as put forth by the 9/11 commission. The Dems have been clammering to put their recommendations in to play. Now they're crying foul.

                                      shining a spotlight on your ineptness is certainly different than having your "legacy" drug through the mud.

                                        First, Moore didn't get a pass. He was vigorously attacked by the right for his movie. So much so that Bush's dad's investment group actually bought up a chain in theatres in the south so that it wouldn't show down there. Moore sparked a cottage industry of people that wrote books, started websites and made movies that slammed his film.

                                        Second, this movie is supposedly a docudrama so it is based on true events, but has some fictionalized accounts in it. One of the executive producers on the movie is a republican governor that was part of the 9/11 commission and he himself said that much of it is not accurate. However, there are a lot of people out there that don't realize this. They will watch is and take it as fact. If it's me and there is a movie coming out based on some things I was involved in that was fiction and made me look bad you can bet that I would fight.

                                        Lastly, this is politics as usual and I think it's no coincidence that this show is being broadcast two months before an election. A little while back there was a TV movie about Reagan that didn't paint him in a very good light and the republicans flipped out about it and eventually pressured the network to not air it. but now that Clinton is fighting something he doesn't like somehow that is bad.

                                        to me this mini series is nothing more than a 4 hour election commercial. The repubs can say, " see how weak the democrats are on terrorism? We're better vote for us."

                                        It's all pretty bad.

                                        That said I think any docudrama shouldn't be made. Either make a fictional account of something or make a real factual documentary.

                                            I agree, Bush is much better.

                                                The legacy is set in history he can't change what is.

                                                  Protect his legacy at all cost?
                                                  Its not a good one and not much of one so, big deal.

                                                  I noticed that too! Wow a thread that sees some light!

                                                      The Reagan miniseries is hardly a fair comparison.
                                                      I mean heres a guy who as President was respected by a huge amout of people all over the world, who was at the time that CBS wanted to air it in the throws of alzheimers.
                                                      That was stooping pretty low and they did the right thing by pulling it.

                                                      If he was able to defend himself it would be different story.

                                                          That was stooping pretty low and they did the right thing by pulling it.

                                                          If he was able to defend himself it would be different story.
                                                          Do you make shit up as you go along? The reason the right wanted the Reagan miniseries pulled because it showed the Reagans for the way they really were a very dysfunctional family and they got it pulled. Those are facts unlike the 911 docudrama. Also for those who say MM makes shit up go to his site and he shows everything in his last film where he got it from and links to go to see it in the original form. They fuck with Michael because he hits a nerve if he was this wacko no one would care.

                                                              No way. I didn't make it up.

                                                              CBS believed it had ordered a love story about Ronald and Nancy Reagan with politics as a backdrop, but instead got a film that crossed the line into advocacy, said a network executive who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

                                                                      Ex-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's anger is unquestionably justified. The version that I saw has her self-righteously owning up to actions that effectively tipped off Osama bin Laden to a strike against his Afghan training camp. "We had to inform the Pakistanis," the movie's Albright insists.

                                                                      The real Albright says she neither did nor said such a thing and that the meeting we see in the movie never took place. The 9/11 Commission report, on which the film is partly based, says it was a senior military official who told the Pakistanis.

                                                                      http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/op..._podhoretz.htm

                                                                        Same thing happened with the Regans story that took many liberties to make it interesting for tv. Some facts, a lot of non-facts for entertainement being promoted as fact.
                                                                        The guy is practically in a vegetative state and they wanted to show something that had little to do with the truth or accuracy.
                                                                        CBS even admiited it wasn't what they had in mind when they ordered the project.

                                                                          it was on the news a few days ago and the studio released a statement saying that no one had seen the final cut and they would be making more changes to it in the days before the release of it...

                                                                          i could see why he would want them to tell the truth about the day why blow smoke up the american peoples asses...? we all know what happend that day so why make things up just to make the docudrama "interesting"

                                                                          bah not even going to watch that fucking garbage

                                                                                I agree about letting ABC having free reign to play it as I believe in free speech. On the same token, those who complain about it have full right as well because of it being a docudrama or a mockumentary. Your statement "at least it's BASED on truth" is quite fallacious however; most of content of the ABC show is either extremely dramatized or simply completely fictitious (as in made-up). The writer of the show, Cyrus Nowrasteh, is nothing more than the republican version of Michael Moore -- take whatever he says the same way as you would Moore.

                                                                                    And as others have said, many people - like the 40+% of the American public which still believes that Saddam Hussein was tied to Al Quaida, will believe that what they see tonight is real. Even though many of the people involved have already denounced the "facts" posed in this movie.

This is an example of why this country will never come together like we should. Way to many people see it as a democrat or republican thing. We should work together as Americans and ask for the truth no matter who is in office. They are there to serve us. I love my country and both republicans and democrats are fucking it up. We need people in power that want to do what is right for the people not thier oil buddies or their other million special interest groups. But we all know that will never happen and I think that's sad.

                                                                                          Let the ABC thing have the same courtesy -- at least it's BASED on truth, and not some conspiracy bullshit.
                                                                                          I never argued whether or not Moore's movie was factually accurate or not. You said Moore got a pass and I simply pointed out that that was not the case.

                                                                                          As for ABC airing it, I support free speech and if they feel that airing this movie is exercising their freedoms of speech than I think they should go ahead and do it. There is a difference though. If you wanted to see Moore's movie you had to buy a ticket and go to the theatre or buy/rent it on DVD. with this movie anyone with a TV and an antenna can watch it so the audience may be much larger and the damage done much greater.

                                                                                          I would hope if ABC doesn't edit the movie and fix the problems that they will air a disclaimer before/during it to say that some things were fictionalized.

Tomorrow they will play 1 hour of the movie, cut to George Bush live for 20 minutes, then conclude with the remaining 37 minutes of the movie.
                                                                                            wait the media is all liberal lol Clinton is old history what he did or didnt do, its been 5 yrs since 911 and bin laden is still running around.How does that not piss off the right wing sheep?????????? This man was responsible for the death of 3000 americans and not the number 1 priority of this administration.

                                                                                              I agree with you about free speech but they have been given a tremondous resource - radio spectrum - and were once required to air opposing views and educational/worthy programming. Granted that with cable the spectrum isnt as valuable but damn if they give it up willingly.

                                                                                              The networks don't do enough to sponsor and promote responsible political discourse.
