The First Damning of the Clinton Admin for 9/11

Despite successful attempts to date about sharing any blame for not acting on terrorism during the 90s, Clinton's administration just ran out of luck. ABC decided to air its miniseries, "The Path to 9/11." Even if only half of it were true, it is so damning of key players including Clinton, Tenet, Berger, Albright and Reno that I think Clinton's record on terrorism just became even further tarnished - if not devastated.

Too bad that the MSM decided that none of it was Clinton's fault and terrorism began only when Bush took office.

*Update*

Betsy Newmark has more details on the Clinton team's approach to terrorism and offers these words about the film:

Think for a moment about the concerted action by Democrats, their lawyers, former White House operatives, Bill Clinton, sympathetic historians, and lefty bloggers to stop this show. Remember that this was the same crowd that was full of praise of for Fahrenheit 9/11 for crystallizing their opposition to George Bush. Accuracy and versimilitude didn't bother them then. And they weren't saying a word about 60 Minutes "fake but accurate" story on Bush's National Guard service. Now, ask yourself. If this crowd were to control the White House, how many more of these attempts to stifle any criticism of them would we be seeing? Think of how much has been aired during Bush's tenure, even a movie depicting him being assassinated and
more denials of civil liberties gets made without Bush's White House unleashing its lawyers. But, for this thing, the Democrats go to the mattresses. Are they perhaps modeling for us what their response would be to further criticism if they should gain control of the White House - or even of Congress? Don't forget those not-so-veiled threats to ABC's license. Ponder that chill wind.
