New ABC Docudrama Blames Clinton For 9/11, Praises Bush
New ABC Docudrama Blames Clinton For 9/11, Praises Bush
On September 10 and 11, ABC will air a “docudrama” called “The Path to 9/11.” It was written by Cyrus Nowrasteh, who describes himself as “more of a libertarian than a strict conservative,” and is giving interviews to hard-right sites like FrontPageMag to promote the film.
What will it say about President Clinton? Here’s Rush Limbaugh with a preview:
A friend of mine [Cyrus Nowrasteh] out in California has produced and filmed — I think it’s a two-part mini-series on 9/11 that ABC is going to run in prime-time over two nights, close to or on 9/11. It’s sort of surprising that ABC’s picked it up, to me. I’ve had a lot of people tell me about it, my friends told me about it…And from what I have been told, the film really zeros in on the shortcomings of the Clinton administration in doing anything about militant Islamofascism or terrorism during its administration. It cites failures of Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright and Sandy Burglar.
How does it deal with President Bush? Salon has a review:
Condoleezza Rice gets that fated memo about planes flying into buildings, and makes it very clear to anyone who’ll listen just how concerned President Bush is about these terrorist threats — despite the fact that we’re given little concrete evidence of the president’s concern or interest in taking action. Maybe my memory fails me, but the only person I remember talking about Osama bin Laden back in 1998 was President Clinton, while the current anti-terrorist stalwarts worked the country into a frenzy over what? Blow jobs. In the end, “The Path to 9/11″ feels like an excruciatingly long, winding and deceptive path, indeed.
The director of the film, David Cunningham, is already backtracking about its accuracy, saying “this is not a documentary.” OK, fair enough. But the movie is being billed as “based on The 9/11 Commission Report.”

We need to get all over ABC on this one. This is nothing more than rignt-wing propaganda posing as entertainment.
September 1st, 2006 at 11:23 amWhat a crock of sh*t!
September 1st, 2006 at 11:23 amMore Propaganda bull from the Neo Cons anyone with half a Brain now knows 9/11 was an inside job lie runs sprints but the truth runs marathons down with the New World Order
September 1st, 2006 at 11:25 amOne man’s David Cunningham is another’s Michael Moore. It’s a film folks. If it’s put out by ABC’s news division I’d be concerned.Remember it’s a film.
September 1st, 2006 at 11:25 amFYI - the trolls will be all over this - guaranteed - so arm yourselves!!!!!
Clinton, 9/11 and the Facts
September 1st, 2006 at 11:25 amBy William Rivers Pitt t r u t h o u t | Perspective
fly-man - the LEFT BEHIND series was a novel….
September 1st, 2006 at 11:26 amWhen will the Right stop blaming Clinton for everything? Is there anything at all that isn’t his fault? Will no one in the Bush Administration take responsibility for a major disaster that took place on their watch - and after they were repeatedly warned by the Clinton Administration about Osama bin Laden?
September 1st, 2006 at 11:26 ami caught the “blame clinton” message in the tv ads…
in 30 seconds it was possible to figure out where this was going…
really disappointed to see harvey keitel was in it…
September 1st, 2006 at 11:27 am1984 all over again. We have always been at war with Eurasia.
September 1st, 2006 at 11:29 amI wonder if ABC will run a mini-series on how Saddam was put into power and who he received weapons and money from.
September 1st, 2006 at 11:30 amI LOVE BRITISH TELEVISION - they are currently making a movie about the assasination of GWB - documentary style - a thriller to be sure. I read about it yesterday - I’ll try and find out more. But the premise is - after giving a speech in Chicago - he is gunned down as he is leaving….who done it? antiwar protestors, FBI, CIA????
September 1st, 2006 at 11:33 amThis is another example of why Bush say’s thay his presidency can’t be judged until 30 or 40 years hence;because he knows his lackey lapdogs will scrub history like this.
September 1st, 2006 at 11:38 amWell, I hope he enjoy’s his good reviews from Hell.
It is time for Clinton to stand up for himself and sue these bastards. They have dragged his name through the mud long enough it is time for him to get angry and get the truth out about what he did and didn’t do. If it keeps it in the headlines so be it, but the thing now is to reveal the lie because the Democrats have let the neocons get away with this propaganda long enough.
Now it is time for a scream. ABC needs to be brought to its knees and have its balls lopped off, because this is one lie too many.
September 1st, 2006 at 11:39 amBush deserves ZERO praise for 9/11 > he alone is responsible for allowing it to happen!
September 1st, 2006 at 11:42 amFormer President Clinton needs to stop hanging out with Bush Senior, and call Bush Junior a stupid fool who needs to resign for allowing 9/11 to happen in the first place!
September 1st, 2006 at 11:45 ammadashell #5…uh, yeah!! we will be all over this…..but I will let you lefties rant and rave for a bit and jump in later…….take care ladies….talk soon…..
September 1st, 2006 at 11:48 amWhy do they call it a docudrama? It’s republican trash, bought and paid for with taxpayers’ money. To call it anything other than a fictional story peddled to the msm is a lie.
September 1st, 2006 at 11:48 amDeception and lies, the republican mantra.
September 1st, 2006 at 11:49 amHopefully, this new 911 will blow up in their faces.
It’s time to kill your TV and america’s lovefest with lies.
from what I have been told, the film really zeros in on the shortcomings of the Clinton administration in doing anything about militant Islamofascism or terrorism during its administration. It cites failures of Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright and Sandy Burglar.
right there the Administrations talking points, this guy is an Admin plant.
September 1st, 2006 at 11:51 amperhaps we should just stay away from that thread - let the trolls have at it by THEMSELVES!
September 1st, 2006 at 11:55 amDidn’t The Brady Bunch and the Beach Boys also have Docudramas made about them?
September 1st, 2006 at 11:56 amIf the docudrama really is “based on the 9/11 Commission Report”, then it is not based on fact. The 9/11 Commission report is NOT what happened that day. It is only a narrative of the official government version of what happened.
September 1st, 2006 at 11:56 amMore people died on Memorial day weekend in traffic accidents than on 9/11. Where is the Government’s Highway Commission Report about those deaths and property loss? We have such a bizarre sense of zero tolerance for deaths in this country it just blows my mind. Wouldn’t it be better to take out terrorist insurance and go after OPEC and cut the funding out from these people who hate us? 300 Billion and 2700 of the Military’s finest is the greatest waste of resources for what we have received in return is deplorable. Name one example of any, any, attempt to over throw our government. Carnage is carnage, on the road or at the hands of Psychotic 7th Century jihadists we shouldn’t assume some lives are worth protecting more than others.
September 1st, 2006 at 11:57 amPropaganda - information or ideas that are methodically spread by an organized group or government to influence people’s opinions, esp. by not giving all the facts or by secretly emphasizing only one way of looking at the facts
Two words for anyone who doesn’t recall Clinton’s enthusiasm for hunting Bin Ladin and Al Queda: ‘aspirin factory’
In fact, Clinton ignored Reno’s suggestion that the evidence of bin Ladin involvement in African embassy bombings might not be sufficient justification for bombing the chemical plant.
Clinton got endless sh*t from the Republicans for trying to chase down bin Ladin at the time, and every effort to fight the war - WHICH BEGAN LONG BEFORE 9/11 - was met with cries of ‘wag the dog.’
Republicans opened the door for Al Queda to attack us on our own soil. Enough of this crap, take responsibility for hedging your bets against a bunch of 3rd world terrorists and stop pretending that we don’t remember the sh*t you pulled.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:01 pmHere’s Lyndon Johnson talking about the Vietnam War:
Everything I know about history told me that if I got out of Vietnam and let Ho Chi Minh run through the streets of Saigon, then I’d be doing exactly what Chamberlain did in WWII. I’d be giving a big fat reward for aggression.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:03 pmOh, I can just picture a “South Park” parody! Maybe “Pathway to 10/31″ where BushCo people dress up like famous American heroes and go door to door begging for “powerhouse” candybars.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:03 pmBy the end of the century it will be taught as fact in history classes in our public schools — if we still have them — that Clinton’s dick brought down both towers of the WTC.
I’m not sure who will get the blame for the Pentagon. Perhaps our grandchildrens’ children will learn how Michael Moore — did I mention he’s fat? — sat on it.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:03 pmPeople will just see it as a joke movie if its inaccurate… Bush attacked the wrong country… Now we have a gigantic mess in Iraq. For what?… Nothing, nothing, nothing and some more nothing. I believe what Richard Clarke says about how Clinton and Bush behaved. I don’t think he favors either one of them.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:07 pmthe greatest waste of resources for what we have received in return…
Comment by the fly-man — September 1, 2006 @ 11:57 am
aaahh see… THAT’s the deal… there was little thought about the “we”, as in “we the people”… but a good many people made out handsomely, a very good “return” for them…
but you all know that…
and madashell - i like that idea! i’m sure there are lots of reasons why it won’t work, but it would be a great expirement!
i’m off to mowe - will check on that sandbox when i return!
September 1st, 2006 at 12:07 pmIs anyone really surprised? To the right everything Clinton has done is bad, regardless of what happened during his tenure it was all bad, anything good was simply an illusion or a benefit he inherited from Reagan’s good policies. The people who praise this movie which is based on loose interpretations are also the same people who shit a brick when the Reagan movie was going to be aired with his comments about AIDS. Of course the comments were taken straight from a bio that had been out for ten years at the time, but they did not want Reagan painted in any unflattering light, even if what was being said was documented.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:07 pmOh, Wayne….No! Don’t tell me you are a 9/11 conspiracy theorist???? We may disagree politically, but you always seemed to have your feet on the ground.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:13 pmThis is from ABC/Mickey Mouse.
Remember: This is the same network that tried to shut down Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
OF all the lapdog media, ABC has demonstrated to the MOST sycophantic and submissive to the Bush administration, by a long shot.
I am not surprised they are airing this turd. They are rewriting history as fast as they can.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:13 pmAnother tool for the propaganda machine. I seem to have read that Condi didn’t take the terrorist threat very seriously and when and an aid informed the president of what the ill fated memo said his reply was ” o.k. you’ve covered your ass.” (read the “one percent doctrine.”)
September 1st, 2006 at 12:13 pmMore lies. More deceit. The repugnacan party still hasn’t learned.
It’s a movie. Might not like the premise, but it is a movie. If we tell ABC not to run it, we are as bad as the right and limiting theior right to run whatever movie they want.

September 1st, 2006 at 12:14 pmWho can we call at ABC to stop the spread?
September 1st, 2006 at 12:19 pmI wonder, do they bring up how Clinton wanted to work on this problem but he was busy getting impeached because of a blowjob?
September 1st, 2006 at 12:22 pmAmerica’s Least Wanted
Sounds a lot like that other masterpiece of complete bullshit, “DC 9/11″.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:24 pmExley,
#1) The magic number is down to 15;
#2) The official 9/11 Commission report is, itself, a “conspiracy theory”, so don’t denigrate the term itself. (Their “theory” was that the highjackers “conspired” to commit those crimes); and
#3) All I said was that what the “official” report says is not what happened. There are many discrepancies between what they said happened and what eyewitnesses said happened. I did NOT, however, say in that comment anything about what I thought really did happen, and my thoughts may have changed since my previous posts months ago On the subject, so they are no indication of anything.
We may never know what really happened that day, but there are plenty of good solid reasons to believe that it didn’t happen the way the Commission said it did. And that is all I was saying.
Hopefully, by the time I get to post again on Tuesday, the magic number will be down below ten.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:27 pmPerhaps I’m mistaken, but it would seem that in the view of propagandists like this jackass, Clinton should have invaded Iraq with no exit strategy or military mission and not enough troops in 1998, sparking a bloody sectarian civil war that encouraged jihadism and anti-Americanism among Muslims and alienated all our allies, turning the vast majorities of the populations of countries like UK, France, Japan, and Australia into anti-American reactionaries, weakening our military deterrent capacity immensely, and ceding enormous influence to France, Iran, Venezuela, and China in Europe, Middle East, South America, and Asia respectively. And that THIS would be the solution to preventing a terrorist attack against the US.
Phucking morons.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:28 pmNot sure I’d go that far. Just Weds., ABC aired the “WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!” special (which looked at the top five disasters that could befall mankind). In it, they pertty much blew the whole “global warming doesn’t exist” crowd out of the water.
To be honest, I was surprised they did that part of it so well.
Of course, this flaming turd of a “docudrama” pretty much negates their acceptance of global warming …
September 1st, 2006 at 12:28 pmThis administration has only made America better through it’s manlipulation of the media. When it comes to making lives of everyday Americans better, this administration is missing in action. The majority of Americans have caught on to the mumbo jumbo of the cheney/rove talking dummy. They can continue to attempt to convince us that Americans dying in Iraq keeps Main Street, USA safe, but Americans know better.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:29 pmABC has the right to air what they want as long as they make it clear it is “entertainment” and not factual. And we have the right to not watch it and to tell everybody what a crock of bull it is and why they should not watch it, nor purchase from advertisers that buy commercials during its airing.
I hope this backfires for them. I hope people start boycotting ABC because of this.
So who is advertising in the movie? Somebody should suffer through it and write that down. I’d like to start sending letters letting them now how supporting something like this is NEGATIVELY impacting their bottom line, and not helping them.
The “bottom line” is the only thing greedy corporations understand. Hit them in their pocket book and suddenly they become your bitch, no matter HOW they think politically.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:31 pmRemember what they did to CBS to get them to censor the Ronald Reagan movie? Let’s do that to ABC.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:32 pmBoycott the products of any ABC’s sponsors of this crap!
September 1st, 2006 at 12:33 pm9-11 was caused a little over 3,000 years ago when a woman decided men had been in charge long enough and attempted to change Egypt to a matriarchy. She is the grandmother of the one we now call Jesus.
Actually, 9-11 was caused by an idea, an invention we call hell. The suiciders think their victims are going to hell while they are going to heaven. The lie of hell has been believed so long and by so many it has become a truth. http://www.hoax-buster.org has the history of hell and identifies it’s inventor.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:33 pmSeems like they deserve the CBS Reagan treatment, no?
September 1st, 2006 at 12:37 pmClinton can lob his missile at me any day.

September 1st, 2006 at 12:46 pm#11
it’s been made already. it is opening this weekend or week in toronto and then in london and trying to get it here in the u.s.
only if it was true. but then the octopus (rothchilds) are still alive and many waiting (skull and bones) to get in.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:49 pmYes, absolutely, this deserves the CBS Reagan treatment! We have the numbers to do an effective letter-writing, boycott of sponsors threat. Screw these people.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:52 pm#47, BG - uhhhh, yeah? oooookay. thanks for filling us in.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:52 pm#41 I actually had some one get very angry after 911 and say it was all Clinton’s fault because he had our army in iraq after the war and pulled it out leaving Sadaam behind to pull off the attack.
September 1st, 2006 at 12:55 pmThis is unbelievable…. just as unbelievable as award winning Mike Malloy being fired from AAR for ‘financial reasons’. Under the Clinton administration a terrorist attack was stopped as terrorists were discovered at the Washington state border loaded up with explosives headed towards LAX. How much news does this make???? This is getting all too clear…. everything is for financial reasons…. propagandize and lie on anything so the republicans come out looking good in order to keep corporate America well, alive and rich. And to spread the propaganda who will be fired next? Thom Hartman, Bernie Ward, Ray Taliaferro, Randi Rhodes, Sam Seder….
September 1st, 2006 at 12:59 pmAren’t they the same station who wouldn’t show the Reagan bio because they were afraid it would offend the wingers?
September 1st, 2006 at 1:03 pmDoesnt this show who really controls the media. We are heading into a electon and ABC is airing this support the president line. Who ultimately decided to do this? When it comes to the major decisions like this it is the ownership or high management I would suppose.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:06 pmOK, Im gonna start laughing. Be back in a couple of days.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:06 pmHa ha ha…
Under the Clinton administration a terrorist attack was stopped as terrorists were discovered at the Washington state border loaded up with explosives headed towards LAX. How much news does this make????
That would be New Years 2000. I live on the same peninsula with Port Angeles, where that happened. It was a woman agent for the border working for the ferry system, that scrutinized that guy - and got him. It was on the news here, and I have never forgotten it. I don’t know if she ever get cudos for it, but I do know under BUSHCO, they got reprimanded for something - not sure what it was though.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:08 pmi would boycott ABC/Disney if i watched them…well i do still watch judge judy but for the rest — it’s been a lot of poo for a long time and well — nothing to see there folks,,,move along.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:08 pmName one example of any, any, attempt to over throw our government.
any, any, by who, does it matter?
well, i give ya one. rockefeller, bush, dupont, trying to overthrow fdr and install a nazi style government and didn’t succeed.
these people who hate us?
these people (jiadists) do not hate us. they hate our gov. policies. and wouldn’t you. if the u.s was sanctioned the way we sanction others and put f.upd policies on other nations, folks the u.s and it’s people would probably be in the same position. this is about ruling the world. having one currency, one gov. one ruler that controls it all. these folks are fighting for their ways of living, and culture, and laws. the way they want to do it. they do not want the criminial ways of america, israel (zionists) with all their satanic(masonary) symbols (owl, pyramid, 33, 6 pointed star) in their lives. and we shouldn’t either. when these pricks salute it’s the ‘horned’ wave. what we are FINALLY pissed about they have been forever. we, americans, are finally waking up, bumping our heads to the reality of the american government. i say to them keep fighting for your dignity the way we are fighting for ours.
in no way am i condoning violence and the bloodshed. but america if you support this gov. your hands are bloody.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:13 pmThe HYPOCRITES here at “Think Progress” and the mind-d/numb robots of the Left should work on spelling two words: M-I-C-H-A-E-L M-O-O-R-E…….You whiny phonies!
’til later….
September 1st, 2006 at 1:13 pmCorrect me if I am wrong, but this has not yet aired and very few have actually seen this thing all the way through, right? The amount of right wing bashing in advance of this program airing is amazing. Clinton was not a God, he was a man who may have not done all he could have to thwart such an attach, same can be said for W. Besides, its already been stated that ths is entertainment so take it as such.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:14 pmSo this means the Reagan bio will be going back on the air, right? You know, the one that was pulled under pressure from the Grecian-Fetishists?
September 1st, 2006 at 1:16 pmThe 9/11 report was a crock of crap, and as such the movie is a crock of crap.
In reality much of the Terrorists were trained under Reagan and called freedom fighters. When the COld WAr ended the ‘Freedom Fighters” as Reagan called his Terrorists, Tim Osman [Osama Bin Laden] that fought against communism.
Reagan created the largest covert ops ever..and trained them.
The British and the Americans have a long history of assisting terror groups in the middle east and have since before the creation of the state of Israel.
Nevertheless, Clinton was not in office during 9/11, Bush was.Clinton did not ignore the PDB, Bush Did. Clinton did not sit reading a childs book durng attack, Bush Did.
Only six Americans were killed in America by Muslims the whole eight years Clinton was in power. At least three terror attacks were thwarted around the Y2K events
Six Americans Killed by Muslims under Clinton. 3000 civilians and nearly 3000 our our troops died under Bush. That doesn’t include Civilian casualties in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Furthermore, the first WTC bombing took place ONE MONTH after Clinton took office, [So we should Blame Bush Sr. and not Jr.] while the REAL WTC bombing took place eight months after Bush took office, and that too is “Clinton’s fault”? WTF?
This movie is pure crap and in the usually misleading manor of the Goopers, those compassionate liars, is completely out of context as it only gives the side of the story that the Bush admin wants you to think. That makes this movie a lie right out of the box.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:16 pmJust in time for elections..
September 1st, 2006 at 1:17 pmOk Bush saved the world and the US as Clinton was responsible for 9/11. Bush had the memo but took vacation and yes read My Pet Goat as thousands of people died.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:17 pmThe next movie will be how Bill Clinton invaded Iraq after lying to the Americans and the world about WMD’s. Next Bill Clinton had secret jails and tortured prisoners, robbed the US Treasury and last but not lease. Bill Clinton leaked the covert CIA agents name and should be charged with treason. Satan is working overtime as the lies and propaganda keep coming. I feel bad for the families who have to hear move lies. Notice how Bush said years ago he hadn’t thought about Osama and the department that was looking for him is gone. Now for votes Bush brings back Osama to put fear in the minds of the voters yet no one looking for him. Let’s just see who watches the propaganda movie, The GOP will have to give ABC the money it lost if the ratings are down.
mighty aphrodite
Michael Moore ran a in depth fact check of Farenheit 9/11. While his facts were given with a distinct bias they were 100% accurate and documented. In short, he told the truth, maybe not the whole truth but it was the truth.
This ABC docudrama on the other hand, is just plain lying.
So let me ask you MA, where do you get off calling us hypocrites?
September 1st, 2006 at 1:18 pmLOL MA has some really great talking points today, not!
September 1st, 2006 at 1:18 pm#24 - “Propaganda - information or ideas that are methodically spread by an organized group or government to influence people’s opinions, esp. by not giving all the facts or by secretly emphasizing only one way of looking at the facts…”

******Sounds like Think Progress has NOW passed the “Propaganda” test of the “useful idiots” club. Congrats, comrades!!!
Gotta run……
September 1st, 2006 at 1:18 pmAnd the real insanity of all of this is that Junior’s cabal was responsible for 9/11, at least in part!
For the life of me I cannot imagine that not a single person within ABC’s management has even heard of the mounting evidence of something being wrong that day.
But regardless, the government’s official cover-up story is so full of holes you could drive a country through it, but ABC decided to buy into it hook, line and stinker.
Well, if this were a free country, we could discuss a certain British oeuvre, but this being Junior’s United States of Happy Families, that would be illegal.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:19 pmThis CANNOT stand. They boycotted and protested and set themselves on fire over the ‘Reagan TV movie’.
I declare war on ABC. Who is with me?
We must all call and write them TODAY and EVERY DAY during every even numbered hour during the regular business days.
Full assault.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:20 pm#71
cut and run? so why do you want to kill the freedom fighters when in fact we funded the very ones that ’so-called’ attacked us. hypocrites. the more you open your mouth the more i see bushes dick go farther in
September 1st, 2006 at 1:22 pmReagan was responsible for 9/11 when he cut and ran from Beirut he let the terrorists know that GOOers were ChickenHawks and leaving them to increase in size and strength.
Bush Sr. Also led the terrorists to believe that GOOPers when Quit and ran from Iraq. Leaving them to increase their size and strength.
Of Course they Attacked when a GOOPer was in office! They are the ChickenHawks!
September 1st, 2006 at 1:22 pm#69 - “In short, he told the truth, maybe not the whole truth but it was the truth.”
Comment by Bruce knows Best
****Dear Bruce - So Moore’s simply a LIAR by omission???? P.S. If you’re as big a hypocrite as you proclaim about Fahrenheit 9/11, Bowling for Columbine, etc. then yes….Bruce YOU are a hypocrite!! Don’t feel badly - you have tons of company….
September 1st, 2006 at 1:23 pmBye…..
This is FANTASTIC NEWS! Finally the truth (which we all know) is coming out and will see what the CLINTON administration was all about - the lying, deception, doing nothing policy. I love the idiot who brought up Michael Moore’s “film”. What irony!! His lies versus the truth of this movie! That says it all. Hey you libs, can’t you take it anymore???
September 1st, 2006 at 1:24 pmSounds like Think Progress has NOW passed the “Propaganda†test of the “useful idiots†club. Congrats, comrades!!!

Cut and Run Goopers!
September 1st, 2006 at 1:24 pmI love it! As if Michael Moore has ever written a movie in a dramatic non-documentary style based on a script that didn’t have FACTS supporting it. The thing people who never saw Fareinheit 911 don’t realize is that Michael Moore did not ONCE anywhere in the movie specifically say something like “It’s Bush’s fault!” Instead he laid out facts, one by one, to demonstrate that there is something fishy going on and people should do some serious investigation into some of the suspicious things that happened leading up to and after 9/11. He lets the viewer decide whether to take his research to heart or ignore it. He does not spread propoganda. He simply presents all the facts he found which support a side of the story you’ll never hear in the conservative media because they don’t do investigative journalism anymore. Does he have an agenda? Oh you bet he does! But he never claimed he didn’t. He never claimed he’s making something purely for entertainment. He never claimed he wasn’t liberal. He’s completely honest with his intentions. The same cannot be said for garbage like this movie. It’s presented (1) as entertainment and (2) as something that follows (at least to some degree) historical facts.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:25 pmthe (formerly headed by g.h.w.”lapdog” bush) cia intervened to derail the fbi pre-9/11 investigation; the cheney-rove regime did everything in its power to encumber the 9/11 commission; bin laden remains free; rice gloated that 9/11 justified the iraq debacle. the real question is to what extent the current criminal govt knowingly enabled the sept 11 2001 attacks
September 1st, 2006 at 1:26 pmIf possible could somebody find out what companies are sponsering this movie b/c that’s who to contact if you want to see it pulled and let’s not forget how the Reps killed the Reagan bio flick on CBS
September 1st, 2006 at 1:27 pmComment by Bruce Gorton “It is time for Clinton to stand up for himself and sue these bastards.”
Ah, but he can’t do that or he’d have done it long ago. The truth hurts, doesn’t it? LOL
September 1st, 2006 at 1:28 pmThis is FANTASTIC NEWS! Finally the truth (which we all know) is coming out and will see what the CLINTON administration was all about - the lying, deception, doing nothing policy. I love the idiot who brought up Michael Moore’s “filmâ€. What irony!! His lies versus the truth of this movie! That says it all. Hey you libs, can’t you take it anymore???
Comment by paul — September 1, 2006
Never watched moores film. I did read the 9/11 report and it is not complete and much has been left out of that report. some 47 pages worth that you WILL not see in the movie.
Ergo the MOVIE cannot and never will be any more truthful than a movie about the Kennedy Assasination.
It, this docucrama [drama means fake] is also not conclusive on truth because the truth was not in the 9/11 report.
And it never will be.
This movie is nothing but conspiracy theory, but we know how much the repupublican coulter world nut daily types love conspiracies, tin foil hats and truth detectors..
September 1st, 2006 at 1:29 pmSomeone explain to me how the networks get to air this?
Farenheit 911, a look at 911 and the events preceeding and following it, was virtually BANNED by the networks. This movie’s been out for over 3 years and not one airing of it. Not one.
Now a movie comes out that favors the President and they’re showing it on network television?
How does this work exactly?
September 1st, 2006 at 1:31 pmI won’t be watching this show! And now I will be viewing ABC more critically. Blame it on Clinton is absurb. Who was President when 9/11 happened? How can someone see that PDB and not pay any attention to it? I still think the Bush administration knew an attack was going to happen, but wanted to use it as an excuse to invade Iraq, which they did. As it says somewhere “They needed a Pear Harbor” to carry out their plans to invade Iraq from day oone!
September 1st, 2006 at 1:32 pmI wish these ideologue assholes would stop politicizing and propagandizing 9/11.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:34 pmLiberal media, my ass. Speaking of asses, anyone who really believes the media in this country is liberal has their head up their own ass.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:35 pmI hate to admit this, I don’t have a DVD player at my fashionable upper east side apartment. I’m here so little, I just haven’t upgraded it, and I can’t hear audio from computer speakers and so forth, so I can’t watch it that way. So I’m not going to be able to watch this thing and tell you people about it ’til I get back home next week.
Rush Limbaugh
Yes. Thats some broadcasting excellence alright. He just exposed himself as a technological buffoon.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:35 pmAnd Clinton himself continues to give George W. Bush and the Republicans cover because of his deep need for approval from people who can’t stand him and will never stand him.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:36 pmCorrect me if I am wrong, but this has not yet aired and very few have actually seen this thing all the way through, right? The amount of right wing bashing in advance of this program airing is amazing. Clinton was not a God, he was a man who may have not done all he could have to thwart such an attach, same can be said for W. Besides, its already been stated that ths is entertainment so take it as such.
Comment by Craig
Did you forget how much “bashing” went on when a movie about Bush’s response to 9/11 was going to be aired? The response from the wingers was so intense, they re-wrote the script.
Sounds like Think Progress has NOW passed the “Propaganda†test of the “useful idiots†club. Congrats, comrades!!!
Gotta run……

Coming from a useless idiot, it must be a compliment!
September 1st, 2006 at 1:36 pmBTW, is that Harvey Keitel in the movie poster?

September 1st, 2006 at 1:39 pmI Agree with Craig!! Although I must say that I stopped watching ABC a long time ago due to their right wing biased. Due in large part to Eisner. What do you expect, Walt made false statment against his own employees claiming the were communist appeasers. Nice legacy.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:40 pmBTW, is that Harvey Keitel in the movie poster?
Comment by WORFEUS — September 1, 2006 @ 1:36 pm
I was wondering the same thing. What a shame. Such a nice actor.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:41 pmohhhhh Please There must be commentary by the Coulter guy opps I think I mean woman. Oh well what ever he/she is
September 1st, 2006 at 1:41 pmI now love the bumpersticker that reads: KILL YOUR TELEVISION
September 1st, 2006 at 1:41 pmIt cites failures of Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright and Sandy Burglar
Rush Limbaugh
Who’s Sandy Burglar?
I thought Clintons National Security Advisor was SANDY BERGER?
Oh well. I’m sure Rush knows better, with his broadcasting excellence and all.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:42 pmMa - has gotta run. And he better keep on running.
When all is said and done there will not be many people that will admit even voting for Bush.
BTW - most networks are controlled by the Admin. was sorry to see ABC added to this list.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:42 pm94. Eisner is no longer with Disney - he was canned last year.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:42 pmLet’s see what Bill Falafel has to say. He’s trying to push Rush out of the way for the title of America’s Anchor. Rush has an envy issue with Katie Couric, that is, well, as big as his ego.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:46 pmI like the part of the movie where congressional Republicans in the 1990s beg Clinton to go after bin Laden and Clinton responds, no the most important thing to do now is go ahead with this frivilous lawsuit.
Or in the 1980s when Reagan tries to stop funding for the Taliban but is overruled by Ted Kennedy. Then Amnesty International advises Rumsfeld to sell more arms to them.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:46 pmI know what will get those evil neo-conservatives! Just print a list of the many successes of the Clinton administration against Islamofacists. For instance make a list of those terrorists’ plots that were thwarted by Clinton, Albright, and Berger. Then name all the Terrorists that Janet Reno, the FBI, or CIA captured under the watchful eye of President Clinton. Finally outline the political triumphs that turned around the anti-U.S. sentiment in the Middle East (because the hate didn’t begin on 9/11). Yes that will show just how successful Bill was and how safe he made the country.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:47 pmRush Limbaugh
Who’s Sandy Burglar?
I thought Clintons National Security Advisor was SANDY BERGER?
Yes. Nothing bolsters your argument like calling your opponent names like a schoolyard kid.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:47 pmClinton could have done a better job, but then again he didnt get the Presidential Daily Briefing “Bin Laden Determined to Attack the US” a Month before 9/11ether (no, it wasn’t a “historical document ” whatever that means as stated by Rice).
September 1st, 2006 at 1:48 pmI don’t know how this garbage gets on TV, but it’s patently obvious the corporate media is and always has been controlled by conservatives, and the “liberal media” is a myth.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:49 pm9/11 = Clinton’s fault
September 1st, 2006 at 1:51 pmtherefore Invasion of Iraq = Clinton’s fault
therefore Inept policies of Bush = Clinton’s fault
therefore Katrina disaster = Clintont’s fault
therefore government’s inept response = Clinton’s fault
therefore death of Jon Benet Ramsey = Clinton’s fault
September 1st, 2006 at 1:51 pmWho’s Sandy Burglar? I thought Clintons National Security Advisor was SANDY BERGER?
He was the guy caught stealing classified document from the National Archive.
Nothing bolsters your rep as a moron ilike not keeping up with events Kermit.
Oh I get it. Just anothet moonbat libtard playing dumb. And you do it do well.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:53 pmYeah it’s a film .. BUT at least they should air F-9/11 for “balance.”
The only thing that surprises me is that they didn’t put this on the air the day before the 2004 presidential election.
Don’t you know that ABC stands for All Believing Conservatives?
September 1st, 2006 at 1:54 pmYou people can’t even elect Ned Lamont to the Senate and ABC is supposed to running for cover. Have fun in the “reality based community” we’ll all be in the real world. What are you people going to do when it all falls apart again in November?
September 1st, 2006 at 1:54 pm“Clinton could have done a better job,”
This would be the same draft-dodging Clinton who met his own CIA Director preciseely TWICE in 8 yeras.
Think again dimwit.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:55 pmdon’t know if someone posted something to this effect already, but someone needs to follow the $ on this one and see where it leads w/ regard to production etc.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:55 pmBycott the advertizers.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:56 pmThis sucks but it’s a one time deal… it is nothing compared to consistently biased news coverage of all three networks.
With at least half the country being Democrat… can anyone tell me why there isn’t a liberal news outlet to counteract the outright lies of Fox and friends or to fill in the glaring omissions committed by all of the other media outlets?
September 1st, 2006 at 1:57 pmABC approached the writer of this film. He is a stauch conservative and a supporter of Bush. The docudrama is written in support of the Bush Admin. Clinton was not president when 911 happened Bush was. Bush and his cohorts decided to ignore the warnings from the Clinton administration and the public daily briefing he got in August. Then when it did happen he sat in a Texas schoolroom for 7 minutes after he was told looking like a real idiot. Then the coward flew around the US in his plane instead of heading back to Washington to deal with the crisis. This man had no clue about anything that is happening. Scarborough had it right “Bush is an idiot”. He should be impeached along with his entire cabinet.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:58 pm“The only thing that surprises me is that they didn’t put this on the air the day before the 2004 presidential election.”
Yeah, all ” they” (wheover “they” are) would have needed in Karl Rove’s Time Machine, you know, because it wasn’t made until this year.
Classic libtard dimwittery. Keep it up loser.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:58 pmlike the part of the movie where congressional Republicans in the 1990s beg Clinton to go after bin Laden and Clinton responds, no the most important thing to do now is go ahead with this frivilous lawsuit.
And yet … that didn’t happen! Who DID congressional Republicans pressure Clinton to go after? Why Saddam Hussein, of course! And for some reason, the idiots at PNAC still have the letters from Newt Gingrich and Lott on their website! And the letters signed by Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, John Bolton and the rest of the Neo-Con men! In 1998!
But no …. no one ever dreamed of invading Iraq before 9/11. That was the furthest thing from anyone’s mind …. uh-huh, riiight.
September 1st, 2006 at 1:59 pmAs we approach V-day in November, expect a full court press by the right wing slimeologists to obfuscate every truth about this administration’s outrageous incompetence and moral lapses. I wish that all those who witness these exercises can make the link and follow the strings that operate these obscene puppet shows to the puppet masters, the greed and power mongers of corporate America.
September 1st, 2006 at 2:01 pmYeah, all †they†(wheover “they†are) would have needed in Karl Rove’s Time Machine, you know, because it wasn’t made until this year.
Duh, you idiot. And maybe that’s because the folks at Sinclair Broadcasting were too focused on smearing John Kerry and getting crap like “Stolen Honor” on the air before the 2004 election instead. “They” would be the so-called “liberal media” that you poor oppressed whiners, er, wingers love to mention every time someone prints a story or makes a movie that you don’t like. Whiny-assed titty babies, indeed.
September 1st, 2006 at 2:03 pmDefinitely need to contact ABC and their advertisers… can we organize this?
September 1st, 2006 at 2:04 pmIf the republicans can get The regan miniseries pulled why can’t we get this crap off the air?
September 1st, 2006 at 2:06 pmWill there be a scene of Bush continuing to read “My Pet Goat” while the WTC burned?
September 1st, 2006 at 2:07 pmThis would be the same draft-dodging Clinton who met his own CIA Director preciseely TWICE in 8 yeras.
Utter bullshit. When Clinton DID go after Osama all we got were non-step accusations of “Wag The Dog” and some “fiscal hawk” worried about the $2 million missile sent into a tent. Funny now that we’re spending a couple hundred billion on this Iraq fiasco all those concerns about the taxpayers’ money have sorta evaporated.
And at least Clinton admitted to avoiding the draft, as opposed to George AWOL Bush, who got his Daddy to put him into the guard’s champagne unit and then never even bothered to show up. Membership has its privileges, I guess.

#60 mad as hell:
September 1st, 2006 at 2:10 pmI am familiar with Port Angeles… I watched highly qualified professional types try to make a home there back in the 80’s, but had to leave because of lack of business as the town at that time was very ‘clicky’. Also during those years the town people complained bitterly about the increasingly traffic problems because of the new Californians moving in. I know they are complaing now as the real estate now is unreachable for their children. What used to cost 40 grand in the late 80’s now costs 250 grand. Generations were used to staying together in Port Angeles, but now that the housing market has been out priced for most, I wonder what has become of these people. Port Angeles is beautiful… God’s country.
BULLSHIT!
September 1st, 2006 at 2:12 pmOMG!!!
ABC is right. I am now convinced.
We MUST stay the course in Iraq. Saddam was behind 9/11.
And now, thanks to this docudrama, we must initiate wars of aggression in Syria, Iran and North Korea.
Diplomacy and sanctions are for wimps.
Clinton was a cosponsor of 9/11. Everything is his fault.
Floods.
Volcanos.
Herpes.
All Clinton’s fault.
OMG!!!! What losers!!!
September 1st, 2006 at 2:13 pm“I’m more a Libertarian, than a conservative.” HAHAHAHAHA

This latest one ought pop a few more. The bullshit is just getting too deep. Its the gas prices. EVERYBODY is paying attention. They have to just to try to figure out next months budget. All those rolling along fine Republicans are feeling it now.

September 1st, 2006 at 2:19 pmThat darned “liberal media”!
So when are the right-wingers going to come out in protest of the “conservative-biased media”?
September 1st, 2006 at 2:21 pm“Keep it up loser “ - this sounds like something you’d here in a grade-school playground.
September 1st, 2006 at 2:21 pmABC has provided teaching materials on its website and I can only assume they are going to make a big push that this airing is some kind of educational event for schools. Rather than a propaganda event for the administration.
sickening.
September 1st, 2006 at 2:23 pmMr. Bauer apparently don’t know Jack.
September 1st, 2006 at 2:24 pmJack Bauer and Retired Republican Soldier = twits.
If you can recall back 6 years ago, after the conclusion of Bush v. Gore, every Republican talking head was talking about the change in emphasis in the Bush Administration’s foreign policy, that they were going to focus on the “real” threats to the US, which wasn’t these guys on camels, but were the big bad Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Il. And we were gonna show China who was boss.
Clinton (rightly) emphasized the stateless terrorism threat over the Cold War era threats posed by rogue nation-states. The biggest criticism by Clinton-era officials of their replacements was their obstinate refusal (summed up best by Condi Rice, whose career was based on Cold War expertise) to ditch the nation-state model and focus on the international interdiction of radical terror groups, including Al Qaeda (and white supremacist groups in the US, see, e.g., Oklahoma City). The fact that Fox News et al STILL conflate terrorism with nation-states (Iraq, Iran) is symptomatic of this failed worldview. Terrorism will not go away if we knock over rogue states. In fact, it thrives in failed states and in anarchy, since it depends on poor and desperate people to be its fuel.
Bush is an idiot, and you people who follow him are either idiots or craven evil bastards who will no doubt go to Hell. He has, with your support, singlehandedly tarnished (perhaps irreparably) America’s moral standing in the world and eradicated the foundation upon which its greatness is built upon. Instead of freedom and a strong economy that helps all, we get hatred, racism, and ignorance in its place. The Republican legacy cannot be as bad as that of the Nazi Party; the constitutional and social limitations in America are far too robust to allow ath. But in the historical view, the Republican Party will probably be seen as a weaker, poorer cousin of that ideology, probably analogous to Mussolini’s party. And you Republicans will be viewed as interesting (if repugnant) moral anachronisms, just as the enablers of the Nazi Party were. “How did people with education and wealth become so propagandized and desensitized so as to allow themselves to support such an evil regime and ideology? How could they so callously ignore the obvious facts that were occurring before them?”

If this docudrama rewrites history (how dare they show it on 9/11) the way you’re suggesting - I know I will boycott any sponsor who supports it.

September 1st, 2006 at 2:37 pmOne of the most succinct, precise analyses I have read. Well done.
Docudrama? That means its CRAP, not a documentary.
Is that Harvey Keitel in that photo? I used to like him.
Everyone should complain to ABC about this bullshit.
911 happened on Chimpy’s watch, after he ignored LOTS of warnings…including one from Clinton.
Blaming Clinton for 911 is BULLSHIT.
September 1st, 2006 at 2:37 pmTo all the freepers: You know who you are… maybe paid to hang on these boards.. or one of the rapture ready types …or maybe your brain has been infected with the right wing hate America talk shows. And some of you call in to the progressive talk shows (and I’m sure you have noticed progressives are not allowed to call into hate right shows) and spew the same crap. My point is I never see facts…just a lot of hate and smear. What is it you stand for? Certainly not “We the People, By the People and For the People.”
September 1st, 2006 at 2:39 pm[…] Now when I hear about ABC promoting the upcoming mini-series of The Path to 9/11, to me it fits into the movie category. But judging from the reaction that JFK had some 30 years after the event, and knowing what I know of the caustic political atmosphere, the words “too soon” just aren’t strong enough. On September 10 and 11, ABC will air a “docudrama†called “The Path to 9/11.†It was written by Cyrus Nowrasteh, who describes himself as “more of a libertarian than a strict conservative,†and is giving interviews to hard-right sites like FrontPageMag to promote the film. […]
September 1st, 2006 at 2:39 pmYou know what I hate about this: they had the smarts to produce this project with an Iranian-American writer/director. So you just KNOW, that their first strategy will be to tag ANYBODY who criticizes this movie as a racist.
September 1st, 2006 at 2:40 pmHmm, looks like Stone’s version didn’t stroke The Bushyphants’ ego’s hard enough.
September 1st, 2006 at 2:40 pmFact: During the Clinton administrtion America had two terrorist acts in the US. The WTC in NY and a Federal Building in Oklahoma. All persons involved were caught and brought to justice within days of their acts of violence. In the case of Timothy McVeigh, he has already been executed. Now the Repuglicans plan to use national security as their platform for re-election. Never mind they have yet to catch anybody doing anything that they didn’t entrap (see the Miami 7). Please, “Fool me once…shame on….eh…shame on me. Fool me…eh…. cain’t get fooled again” GW Bush in a fit of misunderestimatedness

September 1st, 2006 at 2:44 pmThis is a problem. If ABC airs anything other than a full account of the truth then they are propagandists and traitors to the American people. There is no gray area here. There are only the facts.
This movie is about two things.
1. Blaming Clinton as a tactical devise which confuses the public debate right before an election.
2. It continues the ridiculous myth that Osama is responsible for the most sophisticated attack on American soil carried out with incredible efficiency and expertise that has resulted in a boom for war profiteers and fit directly into the schemes of the Neocons.
ABC is subversive.
September 1st, 2006 at 2:45 pmwow… just jumpin’ back in here, almost 3 hours and 130 posts later…
listening to buchanan on franken, talking to lawrence odonnel…
i can really get behind what he’s talking about as far as this iraq debacle… the difference between his (true) conservatism and the neoCONs… very enlightening…
haven’t heard his take on racism though…
too be continued…

September 1st, 2006 at 2:49 pmJack Bauer is hands down the most inept unprofessional emotionally distracted incompetent bungling agent on TV. (Other than Don Adams).
Here are some interesting observations about how the right wing Bauer does his “job”.
Bauer always shows up about 2 seconds too late to stop whatever it is he was trying to stop.
He always shoots the guy he’s trying to capture before he can get a peice of vital information.
He always lets his personal life throw off his judgement enough to put everyone else in danger.
He shot his director in the head because a terrorist told him to.
:|
Jack Bauer. Secret Agent. Public Klutz. Incompetent Bungling fool.
Jack Bauer. The new republican folk hero. He’s so true to life its frightening.
September 1st, 2006 at 2:53 pmWonder if points out that 15 of the 19 hijackers entered the country during Bush’s administration, or that Cheney promised to form a Terrorism Task Force and didn’t, or that Clinton dropped more bombs on Bin Laden prior to 9/11 than Bush did, and got criticized by the Republicans for doing so?
Nah, probably not…
September 1st, 2006 at 2:53 pmI cannot find one sponsor for this damn thing - they say they will limit the advertising, stating there is more important message to get out than making money…..
you can start by blaming these people first:
“The Path to 9/11″ is executive-produced by Marc Platt (”Empire Falls”). The producers are Hans Proppe (”Anne Frank”) and Cyrus Nowrasteh (also the writer). …

We’re talking about war crimes and crimes against humanity. We’re talking about deception and manipulation. We have the proof and we know who the 9-11 culprits are. We even have public confessions…
September 1st, 2006 at 2:58 pmLimbaugh is just upset that Clinton, in the course of all the things his administration did to fight terrorism, accidentally blew up an alleged pharmaceutical plant. We all know how dear those are to Rush…
September 1st, 2006 at 3:01 pmUnless Clinton is claiming something akin to “Papal Infallibility”, there’s plenty of blame to go around. He obviously dropped the ball since the World Trade Center was hit the first time during his term of ofice, The Clinton administrations contributions to the slip-ups that led to 9-11 are fair game for criticism. His failures do not excuse any of the current Presdient and I can’t think of any reason why an examination of his administration’s activities in this area is something for anyone to fear.
