According to this blog they did agree to small edits to the movie. Now the Chicago Tribune also reporting the same thing.

“ABC toned down a scene that involved Clinton’s national security adviser, Samuel “Sandy” Berger, declining to give the order to kill bin Laden, according to a person involved with the film who declined to be identified. “That sequence has been the focus of attention,” the source said.

The network also decided that the credits would say the film is based “in part” on the 9/11 panel report, rather than “based on” the report, as the producers originally intended.”

Not much of an edit, if this is true. However, there are a couple of hundred of unedited DVDs in circulation, many of which are in media hands.

Like I said at this point everyone who cares about watching the movie knows that the Clinton’s didn’t want this movie shown (admission is always a evidence of guilt). That means even more people are going to tune in than ever before. Additionally, there is much more in the film that effectually communicates the opportunities that the Clinton Administration missed. In order for that message to be missed the entire film would have to be trashed, and that is NOT going to happen.

So even *IF* ABC buckled, and I’m not so sure they did, people that will watch this special will fully see the truth about what Clinton did and more important didn’t do.

UPDATE: Seems a bit premature. ABC Statement via email:

“‚ÄúThe Path to 9/11‚Ä? is not a documentary of the events leading to 9/11. It is a dramatization, drawn from a variety of sources including the 9/11 Commission Report, other published materials, and personal interviews. As such, for dramatic and narrative purposes, the movie contains fictionalized scenes, composite and representative characters and dialogue, and time compression. No one has seen the final version of the film, because the editing process is not yet complete, so criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible. The attacks of 9/11 were a pivotal moment in our history, and it is fitting that the debate about the events related to the attacks continue. However, we hope viewers will watch the entire broadcast of the finished film before forming an opinion about it.‚Äù

Let’s get on with the Show!

Additionally, in case I didn’t mention it, there are going to be more TV shows coming out about the 9/11, including I am told one based on Catastrophe: Clinton’s Role in America’s Worst Disaster, which has been out since 2004. I do know that many of those who worked in the IC and FBI during the Clinton Administration are going to be coming out now that the truth is on the table, so they can tell their story as well.

The Clinton spin doctors are famous for how good they shielded him from legacy disaster, but this time they screwed up royally. Fact is that not everyone in Hollywood is liberal, actor or director/producer, and the real story of the Clinton years is entirely compelling and worthy of a movie or two, or three.

UPDATE: Use this page to tell ABC that you support The Path to 9/11.
