Well If Clinton Wasnt Busy Poking Monica With A Cigar Maybe There Woudnt Be A "Path To 9-11"
ABC's 'Path to 9/11': Bill Clinton's Inconvenient Truth
"The Path to 9/11," a six-hour miniseries scheduled to air September 10 and 11 on ABC, has certain former members of the Clinton administration in a panic.
The docudrama is thoroughly sourced and exposes information that former members of the Clinton administration had previously tried to suppress: that there was a failure on the part of the administration to respond to terrorism, inaction that ended up being partly to blame for the tragic events that took place on 9/11.
"Path" is based on the 9/11 Commission Final Report and the 2003 book "The Cell: Inside the 9/11 Plot, and Why the FBI and CIA Failed to Stop It." New Jersey Governor and Commission Co-chairman Thomas H. Kean served as a consultant for the miniseries.
Cyrus Nowrasteh, the writer and producer of the project, told Jamie Glazov of FrontPageMag.com that he was given "an incredible amount of research materials and [access to] high-level advisors from the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, Diplomatic Security, etc."
The miniseries stars Oscar nominee Harvey Keitel ("Pulp Fiction," "The Piano"), who plays the role of FBI agent John O'Neill. O'Neill is the FBI terrorism chief who attempted to convince the Clinton administration that it needed to deal with the danger that Osama bin Laden posed.
Ironically, after leaving the FBI, O'Neill took the job of security director for the World Trade Center. Along with thousands of others he died on that fateful September day.
The ABC Web site refers to the production as "an epic miniseries event," and the plan is to air the program with limited commercial interruptions.
Because the program specifically deals with the Clinton administration's failure to act when bin Laden was offered, a left-wing outcry has erupted on the Internet along with attempts to vilify the miniseries before it is even shown.
David Brock's Web site carries an article with a headline that reads "Right wing uses ABC docudrama to push debunked claim blaming Clinton administration for 9-11."
Pressure from the Left and from Clinton allies may account for an unusual posting by director David L. Cunningham titled "Clarification," which was placed on the "Path" Web site.
It stated that the series "is not a documentary," nor is it "a right wing agenda movie."
"The team of filmmakers, actors and executives that are responsible for this movie have very different political views. There was no emphasis given to one party over another. By the way, we are also being accused of being a left wing movie that bashes Bush," it also read.
The posting has since been removed from the ABC Web site.
Clinton colleagues Richard Ben-Veniste and John Podesta reportedly expressed their extreme displeasure about the way the docudrama portrays the Clinton administration. Their frustration likely stems from the extensive efforts that were taken to keep the information from being made public.
Jamie Gorelick, former deputy attorney general during the Clinton administration and creator of the notorious wall that was erected between the FBI and CIA, served as a 9/11 Commission panel member. Because of potential conflicts of interest, the propriety of Gorelick's membership on the panel was questionable.
Ben-Veniste's role as a longtime partisan Democrat attorney made him another highly questionable commission member.
Sandy Berger's bizarre and illegal behavior (the actions in which the former national security adviser from the Clinton administration stuffed classified documents into his pants and socks) actually occurred while the commission was in the midst of conducting its investigation.
In a 2002 speech to a Long Island business group, Bill Clinton detailed a 1996 offer from Sudan for bin Laden's extradition. The speech was recorded by NewsMax.com as well as by the Long Island association that hosted the event.
In 2004 the former president admitted on CNN that he once publicly confessed to turning down an offer to have bin Laden arrested prior to the 9/11 attacks. But in true Clintonesque fashion, he unabashedly asserted that his admission was "not accurate."
"What I said there was wrong, what I said was in error," Clinton told CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
"Path" highlights the pivotal moment when the CIA and Northern Alliance had bin Laden surrounded and sought the necessary approval from the Clinton administration to go in and arrest the al-Qaida leader. The administration's refusal to authorize bin Laden's capture was apparently for political reasons.
Ostensibly, the 9/11 Commission was formed to determine how such an attack could have happened to our nation.
A combination of obfuscation by some committee members and a mainstream media bent on blaming Bush has prevented the real trail, which leads from the 1993 World Trade Center bombing to the 9/11 tragedy, from seeing the light of day.
"Path" may provide some long-awaited illumination to an event that has been partially shrouded in mystery — until now.

I have been saying this for years and finally there is a movie about it. That is if ABC doesnt get hammered by the Clinton's and forced to remove this movie. Look's like it's already happening. If only Clinton had paid attention to National Security, If only Clinton would have got Bin Laden when offered up by the Sudan, If ONLY!!! There would NEVER have been a 9-11. Never again will I trust the Security of this Nation to a Democrat.

Well good for Scholastic!
"Scholastic Veers from "Path to 9/11"
By Justin Rood - September 7, 2006, 4:25 PM
Educational media giant Scholastic, Inc. announced it's dropping its original classroom companion guides to a controversial new docudrama, and replacing them with materials stressing critical thinking and media literacy.
“After a thorough review of the original guide that we offered online to about 25,000 high school teachers, we determined that the materials did not meet our high standards for dealing with controversial issues,” said Dick Robinson, Chairman, President and CEO of Scholastic, in a press release.
The original materials had been criticized for oversimplifications and failures to address flaws in post-9/11 policies, including the invasion of Iraq."
And stay tuned for more backtracking from ABC. They've already changed some scenes.
Oh, and there will be no commercials on this two-part, prime-time docudrama?
How can ABC do it? Could there possibly be some mega rich Republicans behind this silly piece of propaganda?
You guys accuse George Soros of all sorts of nefarious doings, but someone's bankrolling this, and you can bet your childen's college fund it ain't the Dems.
Heh.
And I don't really care about it, except it's hilarious to watch the conservatives going ape-poo-poo over it and forgetting how they went ballistic over the Reagan docudrama and caused it to be cancelled.
This is really high comedy.
Funny as H. E. Double hockey stick, innit?!
I'm loving it.
Mrs Green,
ABC Alters 9-11 Film Due To Political Pressure
ABC's upcoming five-hour docudrama "The Path to 9/11" is quickly becoming a political cause célèbre.
The network has in recent days made changes to the film, set to air Sunday and Monday, after leading political figures, many of them Democrats, complained about bias and alleged inaccuracies. Meanwhile, a left-wing organization has launched a letter-writing campaign urging the network to "correct" or dump the miniseries, while conservative blogs have launched a vigorous defense.
"The Path to 9/11," whose large ensemble includes Harvey Keitel and Patricia Heaton, offers a panoramic sweep of the events leading up to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The movie dramatizes what it deems intelligence and operational failures of the Clinton and Bush administrations, relying heavily on public records. Thomas Kean, the chairman of the 9/11 commission, served as a consultant.
After a screening of the first episode in Washington last week, some audience members attacked the film's depiction of the Clinton administration's pursuit of Osama bin Laden. Among those unhappy was Richard Ben-Veniste, an attorney and member of the 9/11 commission whom some conservatives have dismissed as a Democratic attack dog. Richard A. Clarke, the former counterterrorism czar, has criticized the movie for suggesting that the Clinton administration was in a position to capture Bin Laden in 1998 but canceled the mission at the last minute.
After much discussion, ABC executives and the producers toned down, but did not eliminate entirely, a scene that involved Clinton's national security advisor, Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger, declining to give the order to kill Bin Laden, according to a person involved with the film who declined to be identified because of the sensitivities involved.
"That sequence has been the focus of attention," the source said, adding: "These are very slight alterations."
In addition, the network decided that the credits would say the film is based "in part" on the 9/11 commission report, rather than simply "based on" the bestselling report, as the producers originally intended.
ABC, meanwhile, is tip-toeing away from the film's version of events. In a statement, the network said the miniseries "is a dramatization, not a documentary, drawn from a variety of sources, including the 9/11 commission report, other published materials and from personal interviews."
The statement adds: "The events that lead to 9/11 originally sparked great debate, so it's not surprising that a movie surrounding those events has revived the debate. The attacks were a pivotal moment in our history that should never be forgotten and it's fitting that the discussion continues."
None of ABC's moves is likely to quell the debate, however.
The Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal advocacy group, said on Wednesday it had collected 25,000 letters asking ABC to either correct or cancel the miniseries. "The miniseries presents an agenda that blames the Clinton administration for the 9/11 attacks while ignoring numerous errors and failures of the Bush administration," the center said in a news release.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Look's like the Clinton's still have thier hands in the cookie jar doesnt it?
Could there be some Mega rich entities still involved with the Clinton administration? George Soros DOES come to mind!!
I'm glad you find it funny that Clinton is STILL able to manipulate the media to his advantage, and Sandy Burglar gets away with stuffing classified documents down his pants, and Clinton could have prevented 9-11 on HIS WATCH by getting Bin Laden BEFORE HE LEFT OFFICE!
Laugh it up, the American Public knows the truth.
But some of you that still think we attacked ourselves on 9-11, or that Clinton did everything possible to stop Bin Laden, are in serious need of medication!
This is the real story of behind the attacks of September 11, 2001. It's about time someone else except the truly informed know about it. Most of us that choose to keep ourselves informed with the truth are glad that finally there will be an airing of the story but it has a long way to go to get to the airwaves because this will sink Clinton II at the White House when the real story and the real trruth is told.
Oh By the way Mrs Green,
The story I posted has a link to Bill Clinton admit that he turned down Sudan's offer to extradite Osama bin Laden."
Those are his own words on Audio!!
Hillarious isnt it?
JG,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If it makes it that far, The Clintons are doing thier best to keep this story OFF the air!
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I have only this to say:
The worst terrorist attack in the history of the US happened nine months into the Bush administration. Nine months! Long enough to make a human being.
And the PDB report said Osama bin Laden was determined to attack the US.
So if what you claim is anywhere near the truth, (hint: it isn't) then Bush failed this country.
You can't get away from that fact. No excuses. None.
If you blame Clinton, then Bush is doubly at fault.
Anyway. I'm bored with this whole fake-u-drama. ABC is backing down by the minute and equivocating.
It is a sorry act, but I am sick of people pointing fingers at one president or the other. There were faults on both sides. One is just as gulity as the other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8 months but that's not the point.
And Usama declared his "Holy War" on the United States in 1998!
Plenty of time for Clinton to have gotten Usama, but NO. He was to busy!!
Bush hasnt failed this Country one Iota! Not being attacked in 5 years proves MY point!
Cant say that about Bubba!
Of course there are no excuses, NONE, because YOU ARE WRONG as usual!
Of course your bored with the ABC movie, Clinton is doing his best as well as the rest of the Liberal Lunatics to make sure it get's pulled! They dont want the rest of the Country to see the same truth I see and most clear thinking people see.
But you just go off into your dream world Mrs Green, because no matter who was at the helm on 9-11, there has been only one man that has had the guts to make sure we havent been attacked again, and that's President Bush!
Tell me something Mrs Green?
If the Lunatic Liberals take back the House, Senate, and Presidency, and we get attacked again, will you be laughing then?
Penn,
It is a sorry act, but I am sick of people pointing fingers at one president or the other. There were faults on both sides. One is just as gulity as the other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thats a crock Penn, I guess you live in dreamland also.
When people point fingers at my President I am firing back.
8 years vs. 8 months speaks for itself!!!
So does 5 years without another attack!
We have to be right 100% of the time, the terrorists have to be right only once!
We are bound to get attacked again, but President Bush has at least minimized this risk.
He isnt perfect, but he sure is trying to protect the American people from another attack.
I cant say that about the previous administration!
If the Lunatic Liberals take back the House, Senate, and Presidency, and we get attacked again, will you be laughing then?
Of course not! But I will do exactly what your side is doing, I'll blame Bush for not going after bin Laden while he had the chance. :-)
Why can't you see the insanity of this whole charade.
Mrs Green,

Why can't you see the insanity of this whole charade.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of course you will Blame Bush, but it will be YOUR party at fault because they will have taken away the tools needed to fight these Lunatic Terrorists with, The Terrorist Surveillance Act (Phone taps from Al-Quaida to the US or vise versa), The Data Mining Act (Tracking down the money going to terrorist organizations), and the Patriot Act!!!
Sure you will really be laughing then!!!
I guarantee you, and watch and see if I am wrong, and just remember I said this, if the Liberals take the House and the Senate, (Which they wont, but I could be wrong, but I doubt it) The very first thing on thier agenda (After they get rid of the Tax Cut's and destroy the economy) will be to hold the ENTIRE Country hostage with some wild form of an Impeachment hearing. Just for PAYBACK!
And just for the record, I was NOT amused with my own party for doing the same to Clinton!
It may surprise you to know I DONT agree with my own party on EVERYTHING, but on National Security, I SURE DO!!!
There is a big difference in getting Bin Laden when Clinton had the chance, let me give you an example, Clinton said: "I pleaded with Saudi Arabia to take Bin Laden after the Sudan incident because I didnt think we had enough to hold him on".... How could Clinton have pleaded with Saudi Arabia to take Bin Laden if Clinton didnt have Bin Laden to offer?
As far as Tora Bora, I will give you that one, were there mistakes made? Hell Yeah there were, we trusted the Afghanistan Govt to get Bin Laden and we should have known they werent up to the task YET!
But you have to admit, Bin Laden isnt operating a terrorist training camp (Out where we can see them anyway) He is contained to a Cave and a Donkey!
But if that 7 ft. tall ass pokes his head out from that cave, you can bet your bottom dollar that we will wipe his ass out, or get him one way or another.
In the end of all this, movie or not, I'm quite sure there will be plenty of blame to go around BOTH administrations. I just dont think it is fair to blame President Bush for this whole 9-11 disaster! And quite frankly I am sick of everyone blaming ONLY President Bush!
Clinton HAS to take part of the blame!
I may get hostile sometimes, but I only do that when ALL fingers are pointed at OUR President!
And he is OUR President no matter if you agree with him or not!
And if ALL fingers will point at OUR President, I will fight back!
In the end of all this, I think EVERYONE except the Far Left Lunatics, will blame the terrorists! Which is where ALL of the blame really lies!!!
And if we ALL pulled together instead of pointing fingers, can you imagine how fast we could defeat the terrorists? And get on with our lives?

Pennsy says...It is a sorry act, but I am sick of people pointing fingers at one president or the other. There were faults on both sides. One is just as guilty as the other.
Yes and no respectively. Anytime there is a major attack or disaster there has to be blame assigned. In a civil court they assign a percentage to blame in major lawsuits. You'd have to agree according to the math alone, 8 years of inattention, obfuscation and wrong headed approaches as compared to 8 1/4 months of setting up a whole new administration there is hardly a comparison. Just as Herbert Hoover at the time was excoriated for being the cause of the Great Depression, it was the policies of his predecessor Calvin Coolidge that actually caused the catastrophe. Just as John Kennedy had to take the blame for the Bay of Pigs when it was the Eisenhower admin that set the wheels of disaster in motion that embarrassed us as a nation. Political opportunists blame Bush for 9/11. In each one of these instances one has to take a closer look and see just what happened. Each one of those presidents had some culpability in the respective calamities but the majority of fault lay in the negligence or corruption of the previous administrations. There is no doubt that the policies of the Clinton admin were so negligent that we were rendered virtually defenseless against an attack like those of 9/11. Political opportunists can try to rewrite history but the facts speak loud enough for all that seek the truth.
Having said all of that, it's time for everyone to stop pointing fingers and assessing blame. All of us here claim to be patriotic Americans and in making such claim it should be obvious enough to see that we have a common enemy and they want to destroy us and our way of life. Our nation cannot afford to bail out of Iraq with our tail between our legs as we did at the end of Vietnam, I will give my life before I will let that kind of disgrace happen to us again. I can only take one disgrace like that in a lifetime. We need to pull together and finish the job we set out to do and when it’s done we come back to the club house and hash things out and go fist to cuffs if necessary but we can’t afford to be defeated and humiliated by our enemies again.
The former president of Iran Mohamed Khatami in the last week gave a speech in Chicago and yesterday at Harvard University and tonight at the National Cathedral (of all places) saying “that U.S. foreign policy triggers terrorism and violence in the world, but American Muslims can play a key role in promoting peace and security.” Yes we understand your meaning Mohamed but that’s not going to work because we have enough input from you Iranians. If Mohamed Khatami came to the US to humiliate us I’m not sure what was going through his head but I know what should be.

I can imagine what should have been going through his head also :)
I have been thinking (Yeah I know dangerous lol)
Since these freaks are on the terror watch list, and especially President Luantic of Iran, when he sets foot on American soil, if he really comes here, cant he be arrested?
I would think the 52 hostages would think he SHOULD BE! Since he was one of the captors.
As far as letting the President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran into the country, it's entirely up to the adminisration on what to do. We agreed to the UN Charter that states world leaders must be able to come and go freely to speak and conduct the business of their country with the UN.
Since the admin is trying to reach out to the sensibilities of the Iranian people the admin probably thinks it's a good idea to not inerfere with him coming to speak to the United Nations.
If it were me, who knows maybe the Bermuda triangle isn't just a myth I heard Iranian planes disappear there all the time.
I can't understand the thinking of the admin though for letting Mohamed Khatami run around giving speeches to American muslims. Khatami is a radical Islamist that portrays himself as a moderate but he's no moderate and Iranians will tell you he's no moderate.
Even though it was only 8 months, after he took office, he knew the potential of the attacks. They even knew of Mohammmad Atta was the primary mastermind many months before the attacks. The administration knew it. The president knew it. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

I still think he needs to be arrested the minute he steps foot on American Soil!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh Please, Clinton knew about Atta too!
Clinton did NOTHING!
No if's and's or buts about that either!
8 years vs 8 months speaks volumes.
Clinton may have been a lame duck, BUT President Bush was warned over and over again of the very high potential. Remember it happened in 1993. Simular attacks were thwarted in 1996 and 1998 simply by arresting the parties involved before they could act upon them. I don't care if the president is in office for 8 days and has as much information, his or her job begins as soon as the oath is recited. He is the President. If someone hand you oodles of evidence and even gives you a date of when it is happenyou don't sit there. You do something about it. You can say his administration is not developed all you want. Those are the people who informed President Bush of what was going on. That is not a valid excuse for me.
Clinton wasn't much better. He was offered bin laden by the Sudan, maybe he should have attemted to try him in court. Many legal analysist claim he would have walked a free man out of the courtroom, because there was no substanial evidence to convict him. I am not a lawyer or no desire to be, so I would have to take their word for it. I did study this quite a bit. Maybe it would have been worth the effort of trying bin Laden, even though he may have walked a free man. If he did at least Clinton would have tried. No one would ever know of the true outcome.

Look all I'm saying like I posted to Mrs Green Up there^^^is that I am sick to death of everyone on the left blameing Bush from everything from 9-11 to if the sun didnt come out today!
Clinton HAS to take some of the blame for this.
In the end of all this, I bet there there will plenty of blame to go around. That movie will probably be scathing to both Clinton AND Bush, well after ABC gets through messin with it. If it even makes it to the tv.
I am just tired of Clinton looking like Prince Charming on this whole issue, when he was anything but.
But you know who is really to blame for 9-11? THE TERRORISTS!!!
