BBC2 plans to show the partisan and factually inaccurate "Path to 9/11" that squarely uses lies and innuendo to put the blame of 9/11 on President Clinton while attempting to make Bush look the innocent hero.

The programme has been reviewed by the Editorial Policy team and we are confident it lives up to high standards of fairness and accuracy.

With this in mind, we hope you will enjoy the drama.

If you think the BBC should shun Rupert Murdoch practices, then complain early and complain often:

* Richard Clarke -- the counterterrorism czar for the Clinton administration, now himself a consultant to ABC News -- describes a key scene in "The Path to 9/11" as "180 degrees from what happened." In the scene, a CIA field agent places a phone call to get the go ahead to kill Osama Bin Laden, then in his sights, only to have a senior Clinton administration official refuse and hang up the phone. Sandy Berger, President Clinton's National Security Advisor, called the same scene "a total fabrication. It did not happen." And Roger Cressey, a top Bush and Clinton counterterrorism official, said it was "something straight out of Disney and fantasyland. It's factually wrong. And that's shameful."

* Another scene revives the old right-wing myth that press reporting made it impossible to track Osama bin Laden, accusing the Washington Post of blowing the secret that American intelligence tracked his satellite phone calls. In reality, responsibility for that blunder -- contrary to "The Path to 9/11" -- rests with none other than the arch-conservative Washington Times.

* The former National Security Council head of counterterrorism says that President Clinton "approved every request made of him by the CIA and the U.S. military involving using force against bin Laden and al-Qaeda," and the 9/11 report says the CIA had full authority from President Clinton to strike Bin Laden. Yet chief "Path to 9/11" scriptwriter Cyrus Nowrasteh, a friend of Rush Limbaugh, says the miniseries shows how President Clinton had "frequent opportunities in the '90s to stop Bin Laden in his tracks -- but lacked the will to do so."

* ABC asked only the Republican co-chair of the 9/11 Commission, Tom Kean, Sr., to advise the makers of "The Path to 9/11". The producers optioned two books, one written by a Bush administration political appointee, as the basis of the screenplay -- yet bill the miniseries as "based on the 9/11 Commission Report."

"Path to 9/11" sure has to be more factual than "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Kerry wants to kick sum Swiftboat-ass!

Why don't you crawl back into your hole? We don't need no stinking traitors around here.

I love how you guys turned on Lieberman. You all hate him now. I guess that means that your glad he didn´t become VP in 2000 when Algore lost. Dems are a party that´s coming apart at the seems. Even Obama, or as Ted Kennedy calls him "Osama", says that Democrats are "confused" and "reactionary" in his new book.

Man. He has been trying soooooo hard for ages with no reaction but I guess eurovol could not ignore him forever...

They haven't learned to eat their own children in pursuit of profit yet. Ken Lay died of natural causes? Don't think so. He died a true Republican.

"Eat their own children in pursuit of profit?" That´s what the Democrats do when they support abortion.

Um, the majority of Republicans support the right to choose too.

Don't confuse the boob with facts, he can't handle that.

that's a lame irrelevant response

The circus of modern Republican conservatism is about selling misanthropy and greed as virtues in order to suck ever more blood out of the society of peaceful working folks.

Regarding abortion: families with kids flourish best where people are healthy and have steady well-paid employment ... no robber barons, streetwalker-frequenting television religious hucksters or political oil-cartel whores required

Republicans Purging Black Military Voter Rolls

"Political humor, news, and theatre of the absurd."

Motto of the website quoted above.

called my VA voter registration office yesterday to make sure (1) I was listed as absentee (2) they had the right address (3) that the ballot was sent or what date it was scheduled to be sent.

I was verified as absentee, but then when I asked them to verify the address they sent it to, they gave me my home address in VA. Not much good that would do. They apologised and stated they would send another ballot to my Germany address (had them verify that address), but I would have to sign a special form stating that my other ballot was invalid.

Then I get a call in Germany 10 minutes after we got off, stating they were wrong about it being sent to my VA address, and that it in fact WAS sent yesterday (27SEPT) to my German address, and so therefore I should be getting it in the next 7 to 10 days.

Yikes, such disorganization, and this from a well funded VAO.

I urge U.S. citizens NOW to call their home VAO (easily googled) and verify their registration, mailing address abroad and WHEN THE BALLOT IS GOING OUT. Always good to get a name and a verifying email.

gemini, it can't be that bad. At least they knew how to dial an international phone call

For those that don't know, VAO is Voting Assistance Officer. Perhaps it would be easier to go through your Sec. of State: http://www.secretary-of-state.org/index.htm

Hey Lieberman is still leading in the polls by 10%!

Yea!!! This is GREAT news. I am now a registered VA voter. Oh I hope he tosses out Allen on his ass.

By BOB LEWIS, Associated Press Writer

What is the Democratic Party´s plan to fight terrorism and Al Qaeda? I don´t think they have one.

What is the Republican's? Cannot really see any plan at the moment... That comments really goes for all sides. How does anybody expect to actually win this "war'?

Books of a political nature:

Soldier: The Life of Colin Powell, by Karen DeYoung, details the former Secretary of State’s doubts about the Iraq invasion, and describes the infighting between himself, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld over the War on Terror

The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America’s Pursuit of its Enemies Since 9/11, by Ron Suskind, claims that in August 2001, President Bush ignored CIA warnings of an impending al-Qaeda attack

Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq, by Thomas E Ricks, castigates Mr Rumsfeld for ignoring expert advice by invading Iraq with a “lean� force and lacking a coherent plan for its reconstruction

Imperial Life in the Emerald City, by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, a first-hand account of Americans in Iraq that shows how inept bureaucrats, appointed for their Republican loyalty rather than administrative ability, mismanaged post-invasion rebuilding

Blind Into Baghdad: America’s War in Iraq, by James Fallows, a collection of essays that unpick many of the arguments for war, the faulty intelligence used to justify the invasion and the failure to anticipate the difficulties of occupation

yeah, euro, we know all that, but what´s the Democrat´s plan to deal with terrorism?

At the moment, it's to invade Iran.

This plan has the advantage of being wildly popular with Donald Rumsfeld.

Talking of books: Has anybody got a copy of Bob Woodward's State of Denial I can read?

Impeach Bush!
Unlike Bush, we will not increase it by pissing off half of America and the entire world. BTW, glad to see that you know that Bush was warned before 911 and did nothing, attacked Iraq without just cause and failed to plan properly for the shit he has caused.

very funny...but what´s the plan the Democrats have to deal with terrorism?

In other news, Voter registrations faked in GOP drive

I'll vote Democratic if you tell me what the plan is.

The plan is to get rid of the Republicans. It needn't go any deeper than that. Also it can't, thanks to the obscure American system of having parties without leaders.

That's not a plan to deal with terrorism. I want to know specifically where the Democrats stand on North Korea, Iran,...how are they going to deal with these states? Do they still want to cut-and-run from Iraq and Afghanistan and surrender to the terrorists?

what terrorists come from North Korea?

and as for Iran - anything can be better than bellicose republicans with veins in their teeth screaming 'Kill! Kill Kill!"

besides BadBob, when I gave you a reasoned explanation why your question is idiotic and a relatively impartial outsiders view of both Dem and Repug positions you just ran away. Too scared to answer?

Hopefully someone from the Democratic Party will actually read, understand, and respond to the question.

Foreign policy is the province of the President. Outside of that, your question has already been answered.

Sorry, euro that just doesn't cut it. I mean do the Dems want to still give the North Koreans more nuclear fuel like Clinton did? Or do they want to try and deal will the Iranians like Jimmy Carter did? Do they still want to vote for the War on Terror and then vote against it? What? You have not given me one reason to actually vote for any Democrat.

This has nothing to do with Dems Abroad, but no clue where else this would fit!

This may be old news, but doubtful (probably old speculation)
Tommy Thompson is considering running!!! He is, reportedly, going to start a PAC in the next few weeks. I'm excited!

Pubic costs 40 grand.

Still waiting for a reason to vote for any Lib...

Still waiting for a reason to waste my proverbial breath trying to talk some sense into you, BadBob.

The November meeting will be an "Election Party 2006" celebration (we hope). Come join us at Sinan's Cafe, Cucina, Bar November 8th at 7pm till 1am. Sinan's is located at Goethe Platz directly behind the theater.
