[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] So...[i]This[/i] has blown up nicely! CNN's coverage of the ABC TV miniseries of this fantasy version of what happened is being disected at the top of each hour- some highlights: Re-enactments of a CIA team being sent to eliminate Bin Laden after the embassay bombings (Clinton Administration) only to be recalled at the last minute by a Clinton official, just as the operatives literally have Bin Laden in their sights! Of course, that [i]never[/i] happened in any way- no operation ever existed, it was only [i]proposed[/i]. Another nuggett is a scene wherein Madylene Allbright warns the Pakistani PM about an incoming missile attack by the US- which gets to Bin laden somehow, allowing him to escape certain death. In reality, Allbright called the PM after the missiles were allready in the air- there's no way it could have tipped off Bin Laden. It's also noteworthy that ABC used only [i]one[/i] member of the 9/11 commision as an "unpaid source" while not even asking the other (read: Democrats) members of the comission for their assistance. Pretty shady. Why do I think the Republicans will be droppng a lot of money ABC's way? ...for ...er....[i]advertizing[/i], of course! ;) [URL=http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/09/07/911.film.clinton.offic.ap/index.html]Here's [/URL] the direct article. Sadly, only a token mention of the "scholastic" version of this "docudrama" was touched on. It seems that the "scholastic" version is based on the [i]docudrama[/i]. That's a lot like teaching a WWII course based on events on the movie [i]U-571[/i]. Close enough to realiry for [i]some...[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
