Clinton Administration officials upset by new Mini Series? how come?

Question

From what I have read the Mini Series is based upon official documents from that era, as well as the 9/11 report.
Doesn't sound to me as though it can get any more genuine then that.

Answer 1

It will probably show just how bad a President he really was. Hopefully it will show that America was attacked 5 times under his administration. The 1993 WTC failed bombing mission, the Tarzanian and Kenya US embassies attacks, Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, (The Middle East facists despise the fact that the country of Saudi Arabia allow Americans on the holy land, so they they tried to scare them out of being "friends" with us. So, 4 attacks on US, all of how you want to look at it.) Than there was the USS Cole, a suicide bombing that killed many Americans on that American Vessel. And what was done about all of this? Nothing. All those attacks point in Bin Laden's direction as well, but Clinton chose still not to pursue him. Even though he had that chance to capture him. Well, I do recall President Clinton firing two missiles, accomplishing nothing.

It also might shed light hopefully how he cut back on national security, shut down military bases and national defense to have more money pumped back into the economy. Which didn't help any anyways. The paying off and getting paid off by other countries to look the other way were great as well, hopefully they shed light on that subject also. All in all, I hope this Mini Series will show what a horrible President he was and how he really let the country down.

Answer 2

Clinton has won his attempt to censor this documentary, persuading ABC to maintain the coverup of his failed anti-terrorism policy which led to 9/11. A censored version will now be released, to replace the one too revealing about Sandy Berger and Bill Clinton. They never were for freedom of speech, when true.

Clinton has such a shallow legacy, that a simple movie can shatter it, in their view. It has been said, that they are nothing but a duck with a paper @ss and better not fart.

Answer 3

What perturbs people about this mini-series on 9/11 is that it says it is based on the 9/11 commission report, but it contains fictionalized scenes that are based on some hollywood writer's imagination.

By showing a fictionalized version of history, you will no doubt confuse people as to what the actual facts are. They are rewriting history to favor Republicans. Making up scenes that make Clinton look bad and deleting real life scenes like George Bush reading "My Pet Goat" to some children right after he finds out what happened on 9/11. It gets to the point that people no longer know what the truth or facts are.

So this docudrama has turned a serious topic into entertainment in which people who watch will not know which part is fictionalized and which is real. Just like people to this day still think Iraq was linked to the 9/11 attack on the world trade center, even when Bush himself states it is not.


In ABC's own words that they have fictionalized history.

""ABC responded Tuesday with a statement saying that the miniseries was 'a dramatization, not a documentary, drawn from a variety of sources, including the 9/11 commission report, other published materials and from personal interviews.'"

Gov. Kean said the scene in Afghanistan and the attempt to get bin Laden "is a composite."


Here is what the DNC sent out indicating which scenes that they most object to

This story is breaking quickly. The bias of the "docudrama" only became known when ABC began circulating previews recently. Less than two weeks ago, 9/11 Commission member Richard Ben-Veniste confronted a lead writer of "The Path to 9/11" after watching the first half of the miniseries at a screening, but most of what we know amounts to bits and pieces because ABC chose to screen the miniseries to conservative bloggers and right-wing media outlets exclusively. Almost none of the Democrats portrayed in the film have even been asked for their thoughts.

But we still know enough, thanks to news accounts and crack research, to fact check "The Path to 9/11" as a biased, irresponsible mess. Here's what you need to know:

* Richard Clarke -- the counterterrorism czar for the Clinton administration, now himself a consultant to ABC News -- describes a key scene in "The Path to 9/11" as "180 degrees from what happened." In the scene, a CIA field agent places a phone call to get the go ahead to kill Osama Bin Laden, then in his sights, only to have a senior Clinton administration official refuse and hang up the phone. Sandy Berger, President Clinton's National Security Advisor, called the same scene "a total fabrication. It did not happen." And Roger Cressey, a top Bush and Clinton counterterrorism official, said it was "something straight out of Disney and fantasyland. It's factually wrong. And that's shameful."
* Another scene revives the old right-wing myth that press reporting made it impossible to track Osama bin Laden, accusing the Washington Post of blowing the secret that American intelligence tracked his satellite phone calls. In reality, responsibility for that blunder -- contrary to "The Path to 9/11" -- rests with none other than the arch-conservative Washington Times.
* The former National Security Council head of counterterrorism says that President Clinton "approved every request made of him by the CIA and the U.S. military involving using force against bin Laden and al-Qaeda," and the 9/11 report says the CIA had full authority from President Clinton to strike Bin Laden. Yet chief "Path to 9/11" scriptwriter Cyrus Nowrasteh, a friend of Rush Limbaugh, says the miniseries shows how President Clinton had "frequent opportunities in the '90s to stop Bin Laden in his tracks -- but lacked the will to do so."
* ABC asked only the Republican co-chair of the 9/11 Commission, Tom Kean, Sr., to advise the makers of "The Path to 9/11". The producers optioned two books, one written by a Bush administration political appointee, as the basis of the screenplay -- yet bill the miniseries as "based on the 9/11 Commission Report."

Shame on ABC and Disney which owns ABC. I can't belive Mickey Mouse is a Rush Limbaugh convervative.
