Path to (fictional) 9/11

I have been following the debate on the ABC docu-drama "Path to 9/11." AMERICAblog is the only non-right-wing entity to get a copy of the show, and has detailed the falsehoods.

For a show being billed as "Based on the 9/11 Commission Report," it seems the producers didn't even read the document, as there are such obvious, glaring errors that even Chris Wallace of Fox News is pointing them out.

There is far more defamatory material in this film than in the CBS show "The Reagans" which that network killed under pressure from conservatives.

I would be very surprised if ABC goes ahead and airs this tonight. They weren't planning on running any commercials, so it actually will make them money to pull it and run somthing else. They could be facing lawsuits if they run it, since the people defamed are very much alive, and calling it a "docu-drama" gives them no protection. The embarrassment they will have from pulling it is nothing compared to the criticism they will receive for putting this fiction on the air.
