Bush Announces September 11th Primetime Address And Asks ABC To
Interrupt 'Path Of 9/11'



'Oh, dear gods, please don't let the people know who really did it ...'

Yet another wrinkle was thrown into the factually-challenged ABC "Path
Of 9/11" drama today: President Bush is planning a prime-time address
from the Oval Office on Monday to mark the fifth anniversary of 9/11 —
and has asked the networks for time to broadcast his remarks. If all
goes according to controversially-scheduled plan, ABC will be entering
the final hour of the five-hour, two-part, commercial-free miniseries,
which has been hotly debated over the past few days when it was revealed
that elements of the film were fabricated, improvised, and not remotely
grounded in proven fact.

The "docu-drama," which purports to have been "based on" the 9/11
Commission Report (but which has since been downgraded to "based in
part" on the report, though they don't specify which part) has been the
subject of intense criticism from a broad range of individuals, blogs
and media outlets — as well as former President Bill Clinton, former
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former National Security
Advisor Sandy Berger, all of whom have complained to ABC about factual
misrepresentations about their actions and related events as portrayed
in the film.

ABC has not yet announced what it will do with respect to the Bush
speech, or whether it will, in fact, pull the miniseries as a result of
the furor. According to ABC, the film is still undergoing revisions and
edits in response to complaints; said Berger: "You can't fix it... You
gotta yank it."
