Dems whine about ABC drama
ABC is airing a drama about the buildup to 9/11 which makes the Clinton Administration look bad.
The Democrats- including former members of that administration and some of the more partisan members of the 9/11 Commission- are whining. Some of them actually claim that the drama is actually biased in favor of the Bush Administration!
Right. That Republican bias the networks are so famous for strikes again!
And ABC has at least partially caved.
Surprise!

ADDENDUM: Apparently- to the satisfaction of objective people with more information than I- the incident dramatized in the program never literally happened. It isn't simply a matter of a convenient denial by Berger and Albright.
The Democrats were right to complain- and ABC was right to remove the segment. But the Democrats have no right to browbeat ABC into removing story elements which rightly point to the Clinton administration's serious culpability in the events leading up to 9/11, and hopefully ABC will not let them.
This isn't about the flaws of the drama. It''s about the Clinton Administration's culpability for the events leading up to 9/11- and the determination of the Democrats to prevent it from becoming more widely known.

Passing fiction off as fact, regardless of motives, is irresponsible at best.
