ABC and "The Path to 9/11"

If you haven't already, check out this activist site dedicated to the noble work of giving ABC/Disney hell over its dodgy docudrama "The Path to 9/11," which was written by a right-wing activist and by all accounts contradicts the 9/11 Commission Report, on which it's supposedly based.
In brief:
- The film places the blame for failing to prevent the attacks on the Clinton administration while overlooking the Bush administration's failures
- Preview copies of the film have not been sent to left-wing bloggers, but marketed aggressively through advance copies among right-wing bloggers, radio hosts, and pundits
- ABC plans to distribute the film free through iTunes and ABC.com, and is pushing for it to be used as an educational resource
- The folks who put this site together are demanding, via an open letter, that ABC either correct the film's errors or yank it; label it a work of fiction; reveal the marketers responsible for hiding this film from lefty opinion leaders; and nix the planned outreach to educators.
ThinkProgress is gathering and debunking the film's errors here.
UPDATE: Educational media giant Scholastic, Inc., which is providing classroom companion guides, is redoing the materials on the grounds that the originals "did not meet our high standards for dealing with controversial issues." (TPM Muckraker)

This is all interesting, but when will they do the expose that Clinton had intelligence that the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor, had Emporer Hirohito in his sights, and was too busy dealing with a B.J. to do anything about it?

Well, if you know something the 9/11 Commission doesn't I'd suggest you lay it out.

Wow Julian, its amazing to see that even after all these years, liberals will still open there mouths and drop to their knees when Bill Clinton is in trouble. Aren't you the guys who "question all authority" or is that just another branded, party line, catch phrase that does not mean anything any more?

Speaking not as the host of Mother Jones Radio, but strictly for myself: Scholastic needs to go further than reworking their media guide. The company needs to divorce itself entirely from involvement with this reworking of history. Contact information is here:

I had a long wait on the phone (hit 0 when the 800 number connects), but was eventually connected to a polite and respectful customer service rep. He said he'd pass along my comments, and suggested I email as well.
Pass it on!

Remind viewers that most of the steel from the towers was shipped overseas and not allowed to be inspected.
How Osma Bin Laden was trapped in Tora Bora and then the lies about Saddam Hussien began so the focus of the "War on Terror" was shifted to Iraq by lies and outright manipulation of data.

I have a feeling that ABC is going to follow "The Path to 9/11" with a discussion panel consisting of John Stossel, Ann Coulter and William Bennet. And, they might just throw in Joe Lieberman to make it "bipartisan."
