ABC Airs Path to 9/11 Docudrama w/ Fictionalized Scenes

HeadlineSep 11, 2006

On Sunday ABC aired part one of its controversial made-for-TV movie The Path to 9/11 despite strong criticisms that the producers fabricated key scenes. In one part President Clinton’s National Security advisor Sandy Berger is seen as refusing authorization for a proposed raid to capture Osama bin Laden in spring 1998. The film alleges that CIA operatives in Afghanistan had Bin Laden in their sights at the time. According to the 9/11 Commission, CIA operatives were never poised to carry out such an attack. Two retired FBI agents have admitted they rejected advisory roles on the mini-series because of concerns about the program’s accuracy.
