Top Bush Counterterror Official: ABC's Path to 9/11 Is 'Shameful' (Video)
thinkprogress.org — Last night on MSNBC, Roger Cressey — a top counterterrorism official to Bush II and Clinton — blasted ABC’s docudrama "The Path to 9/11." Cressy said "it’s amazing…how much they’ve gotten wrong." He added that the film is "something straight out of Disney and fantasyland. It’s factually wrong. And that’s shameful."

- h4x0r1ng, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3BLOG SPAM! How many posts on the same subject will there be from thinkprogress? How about you take all the quotes, statements, put them in one article and submit that?
- nazuraki, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm afraid I have to agree- this is blog spam and is hardly better than the Malkin or LGF articles.
You should have posted the actual MSNBC story rather than thinkprogress' article on it. - NoahVail, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Screw these guys. Link to whatever page you want to link to.
- Leviathan777, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Where's Osama? How can anyone with a straight face present Bush as aggressive in the war on terror - at any time - since he has abandoned the search for Osama Bin Laden?
- everknown, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2A few questions we should all be asking:
Q: What does Disney Corporation expect to get in return from the Bush administration and or Republican rubber stamp Congress for airing this factually incorrect Clinton-bashing Bush idolizing propaganda piece?
Q: When big corporations and Republicans hype and distort the facts about terrorism to achieve politic goals does this make America more safe or less safe? - Myrddnn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2If ABC airs this thing in the face of the criticism both on the net AND in the MSM (I am so surprised to see any coverage, but it is there...), then the public should abandon watching the network in droves. Their corporate bottom line (ratings) is the only way to get their attention.

The Path to 9/11 is a dramatization, not a documentary, drawn from a variety of sources, including the 9/11 commission report, other published materials and from personal interviews. The events that lead to 9/11 originally sparked great debate, so it’s not surprising that a movie surrounding those events has revived the debate. The attacks were a pivotal moment in our history that should never be forgotten and it’s fitting that the discussion continues.
The following disclaimer will air throughout the movie:
“The following movie is a dramatization that is drawn from a variety of sources including the 9/11 Commission Report and other published materials, and from personal interviews. The movie is not a documentary. For dramatic and narrative purposes, the movie contains fictionalized scenes, composite and representative characters and dialogue, as well as time compression."
We should just say no to right-wing propaganda...
