Disney's Dubious Path to 9/11

[Gn2Dlnd]

The Disney Company has used revisionist history in the past when telling it's own official story. The Disney Company is now using revisionist history in broadcasting a two night miniseries called, The Path to 9/11 which is "based on the report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9/11 Commission)." Apparently the blame for 9/11 is laid squarely at the feet of the Clinton administration. Please read this article before posting, if your first impulse is to attack me, liberals in general, cut-and-runners, etc.

I'm in no mood.

Conservative media hosts were given pre-broadcast screeners while liberal hosts were not. Former Bush counterterrorism official, Roger Cressey said, on Scarborough Country (!) "Joe - what’s amazing about this based on what I seen so far is how much they got wrong." The screenwriterwriter, Cyrus Nowrasteh, a year ago called Michael Moore an "out of control socialist weasel." Probably no agenda there.

At a National Press Club screening last month, Richard Ben-Veniste - one of the 10 members of the independent Sept. 11 commission took issue with many of the "facts" presented in the film. Jesus General has a great letter to Bob Iger. Crooks and Liars posts a great piece on this. Check out Truthdig's commentary here, while Democratic House members have drafted their own letter to Bob Iger.

Apparently Disney/Apple is making this available as a free download on iTunes, and distributing 100,000 copies to schoolrooms with with online study guides. Propaganda is alive and well. To quote this blog, "September 11 is a national tragedy, it should not be a subject for dishonest political propaganda." Please, if you feel as strongly about this as I do, I urge you to contact ABC or
