Muzzle the mouse...!

From the NYT:

Three members of the Clinton administration have written the chief executive of the Walt Disney Company, ABC’s parent, to complain that the network’s coming two-part miniseries “The Path to 9/11” is fraught with factual errors and fabrications.

The letters ask that the five-hour movie, scheduled for broadcast Sunday and Monday, be either edited for accuracy or canceled, and ABC gave a small indication yesterday that some changes might be made.

Later in the article,

ABC, meanwhile, continued to explain that the mini-series, though largely drawn from the report of the Sept. 11 commission, was a dramatization, not a documentary. [emphasis mine]

Oh, that makes it alright! We all know how adept American TV viewers are at keeping fact and fiction straight!

Since I prepared to post this, news broke that Bill Clinton's lawyer, Bruce Lindsey, has also written ABC a letter. (HT to Shakespeare's Sister.)
