The Path to 9/11

From The Washington Post:

Top officials of the Clinton administration have launched a preemptive strike against an ABC-TV "docudrama," slated to air Sunday and Monday, that they say includes made-up scenes depicting them as undermining attempts to kill Osama bin Laden.

Former secretary of state Madeleine K. Albright called one scene involving her "false and defamatory." Former national security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger said the film "flagrantly misrepresents my personal actions." And former White House aide Bruce R. Lindsey, who now heads the William J. Clinton Foundation, said: "It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known."

The controversy over this mini series has been raging for the past couple of weeks and the attacks upon it are growing more shrill the closer it gets to the air date. What decides me is the absolute lack of credibility of anyone involved with the Clinton administration.

Anyone with even a milliliter of honor would have refused to associate with that man and his wife in the first place or resigned and denounced them when their character became apparent (which it would have had to do to anyone close to them for more than a few hours).

The fact that people like Madeline Albright and Sandy Berger chose to remain in their employ proves to a scientific certainty that they are the kind of people who only open their mouths to lie.

If that kind of person says that the movie is inaccurate then it must be a good representation of the facts. I'll be watching.
