The Disney story of 9/11

ie, the Rove swiftboating of Clinton.

Clinton joins Albright in demanding that ABC pull its documentary of The Path to 9/11

Not sure if any of you all had been following it or not, but since Clinton has finally addressed an official four page letter to ABC demanding that the inacurracies be corrected, I figured it deserved a post since it doesn't seem to be getting any play in the major newspapers.

Highlights if you don't want to go to dailykos: The Path to 9/11 which will be aired soon has several glaring inacurracies and fictions that seem to be deliberately aimed at making 9/11 to be solely Clinton's fault. The script was written by Rush Limbaugh's close friend, ABC has pointedly refused to give screening copies to Albright, Clinton, Wes Clark, or any left leaning media/bloggers. However, they have given out about 400 copies to about every obscure right wing blogger you can think of.

To top it off, Scholastic, one of the leading suppliers of textbooks to schools, has partnered w/ Disney and the producers of this mockumentary to base their history textbooks directly off of this show. Heavy pressure has caused Scholastic to remove any mention of the planned textbook from their website though so it looks like mass protest is working. ABC and its affiliates continue to state to anyone sending in complaints that the work is a "composite of the truth". Seriously, that was the quote one protestor received.

Also, sixersfan linked me to an excellent article that details the efforts of both adminstrations in the game of counterterrorism. I highly recommend it.
