Okay, so ABC has this "docudrama" called "The Path to 9/11" that they're planning on airing tonight and tomorrow. Fairly unsurprising timing and stuff, right?

Now, the problem comes in that the film is full of scenes that didn't happen and pretty much a right-wing propaganda piece trying to lay all the blame on Clinton.

Scholastic has dropped it from an educational segment they were working on.
Several top historians are against it.
The director is an conservative evangelical from an institute dedicated to "transforming Hollywood from within."
Clinton Administration officials(.pdf) who were involved in what actually happened have called them on it.
A bunch of conservatives have called Disney on it, too.

Here's a blog with much of everything compiled, and here's another.

Gosh darn that liberal media!

Not to mention all that Republican-partisan backstabbing of Clinton whenever he took action against Al-Qaida before 2000. "Oh, he's just trying to deflect the focus from the Lewinski scandal..."

I knew back in the 2000 election that a vote for the Republicans was a vote for war in the Middle East, and once W was in power all it took was an excuse. I think he let the 9/11 attacks happen partly though willful ignorance, partly through stupidity, and partly because it helped his clique's interests in a war against Iraq and Saddam Hussein.
