Twenty (20) Minutes Cut From 'The Path to 9/11'

Excerpt from the AP article, balance at link:

===

Several scenes were cut or changed from the movie that aired Sunday and finished 20 minutes shy of its three-hour time slot. ABC has called it a dramatization, not a documentary.

One scene, in a copy of the movie given to television critics a few weeks ago, indicated President Clinton's preoccupation with his potential impeachment may have hurt the effort to go after Osama bin Laden.

In the original scene, an actor portraying White House terrorism czar Richard Clarke shares a limousine ride with FBI agent John O'Neill and tells him: "The Republicans are going all-out for impeachment. I just don't see in that climate the president's going to take chances" and give the order to kill bin Laden.

AP is simply incorrect.

Their incorrectness is nothing new.

It was one minute, and thank goodness, Bob Iger stood up to the Stalinist tactics of Harry Reid, Clinton, Albright, and Burglar.

The over-riding truth of Clinton failures are well documented.

Thanks.

Do you stoop to the copy and paste-even after you deride everyone else who does that? The hypocrisy wafts over the Hudson.

At what about copyright concerns? Craig?

ok, see here's your problem, PJ presents something to back up his claim, you simple claim something and have no support for it.


COngratulations on being a typical republican apologist.

Chanticleer, you're a such a sad case. On your blahhhhhg a year ago you called NYC the "Capital of the World!" You waxed rhapisodic perhaps over the idea of what your life might have been like had you ever been able to leave you family and come out of the closet and life a life of freedom in the Big Apple.

But then you come here and MOCK people who live in New York. You liberally quote the theater reviews of the New York Times and then pretend it's the holy bible for people on BWW as you dis it as The Treasonous Times.

You are obviously a conflicted little man, twisted up in a love-hate relationship with just about EVERYTHING.

You critize other people's intellectual capabilities and then criticize those who demonstrate clearly that they are smarter than you as being "elites."

You really have to pick a stance, and stop flip flopping.

My local newspaper defined this movie in their TV listing as "Based on the 9/11 Commission Report."

Prove it was one minute. Go on, Chanti PROVE IT! Meanwhile, the AP article stands for itself.

And re plagiarism and copyright infraction--you are a schoolteacher so you ought to be able to understand that FAIR USE means PROPERLY CREDITING another person's copyrighted or copyrightable words and using only a PORTION of the original work.

Not crediting them is Plagiarism, and using more than a portion (as defined by common practice and legal precedent) is Copyright Infringement.

We're having fun, actually. Well, all of us except Chita.

For everyone's benefit, posts like "And what about copyright concerns? Craig?" in a thread do me or the other moderators no good unless we happen to be reading.

A better idea is to send a PM or fill out the contact form and make a moderator (I'm not the only one you know) aware of posts that you believe to go against the guidelines.

Stalinist? Somewhere, a historian is crying.

I didn't watch the program -- what did they show to take the place of the twenty minutes that were cut?

I've been making a concerted effort not to watch anything on ABC, but admit to turning to GMA this morning when Matt Lauer was interviewing the clown.

[colleen_lee]

Posted: 9/12/06 at 1:08pm

Matt Lauer is on NBC.

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 9/12/06 at 1:11pm

I know Matt is on NBC. I said I switched channels to GMA when he interviewed Bush this morning.

[colleen_lee]

Posted: 9/12/06 at 1:17pm

Ohhh. I thought you turned the channel to Matt Lauer, not away from. Gotcha.

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 9/12/06 at 1:18pm

No problem. I realize I could have worded it a little better.

anyone else find it humorous that Chanti still hasn't responded with any proof that it was only a minute?

"A better idea is to send a PM or fill out the contact form and make a moderator (I'm not the only one you know) aware of posts that you believe to go against the guidelines."

A better idea is just to forget it. Only those posters who are on "Most Favored Poster" status are going to get anything done.

Gothampc - not sure what your beef is, but even Chanticleer can attest to actions being taken regarding posts he's written in about.
