CLEAN 'BILL' FOR 9/11 MOVIE
New York Post Online Edition:
FURY SPURS ABC TO ALTER OSAMA SCENE
WASHINGTON - "Facing heavy pressure from Bill Clinton and backlash from an educational publisher, ABC is revising its controversial miniseries, 'The Path to 9/11' - including altering a key scene about the effort to kill Osama bin Laden.
The network has toned down - but not eliminated - a fictional scene involving Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger, that the former president had protested in a letter to ABC, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Berger was portrayed in the original version as declining to give the order to kill bin Laden just before hanging up the phone on CIA operatives in the field.
An unidentified ABC executive told The Washington Post 'adjustments and refinements' are 'intended to make clearer that it was general indecisiveness' of White House officials that left the country vulnerable." Continue.
