ABC Scheduled To Lie About 9/11

In one of most cynical actions of a television network, ABC added some fictional scenes to it's special on 9/11, falsely blaming the Washington Post instead of the Washington Times, own by Sung Yung Moon, for leaking bin Ladin's use of satelite phones. The also allegedly created a scene about a former Clinton Administration official who discouraged rendering bin Ladin. This event never happened.
ABC should be ashamed of itself for daring to air lies. This action should reported to the FCC when ABC seeks a renewal of it's license.
Clinton, Other Democrats Assail ABC Docudrama 'Path to 9/11'

Former president Bill Clinton has urged ABC to "tell the truth" in its hotly disputed docudrama on the battle against Osama bin Laden as network executives scrambled to make last-minute changes to fictional scenes. Clinton told reporters in Arkansas Thursday night that ABC executives should provide an honest accounting in "The Path to 9/11" -- "particularly if they're going to claim it's based on the 9/11 commission report, they shouldn't have scenes which are directly contradicted by the factual findings of the 9/11 commission. I just want people to tell the truth and not to pretend it's something it's not."


[...]Democrats -- joined yesterday by former vice president Al Gore -- have mounted a campaign against the film, which depicts Clinton administration officials as undermining attempts to capture or kill bin Laden. Actor Harvey Keitel, who plays an FBI agent in the film, has joined the critics, telling CNN's "Showbiz Tonight" that he has had arguments with the filmmakers over elements that were "wrong."


[...]In another salvo, nine prominent historians -- including Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Sean Wilentz and Michael Kazin -- released a letter urging the film's cancellation. Calling ABC's explanation that the movie will be identified as a dramatization "disingenuous and dangerous," they said: "A responsible broadcast network should have nothing to do with the falsification of history, except to expose it."

In just about 48 hours, ABC is airing a five-hour docudrama on the 9/11 attacks. The movie was written and produced by a right-wing activist who fabricated key scenes to blame Democrats and defend Republicans. Public outrage is mounting across the country, and ABC is now "mulling the idea of yanking the mini altogether."
