"Path to 9/11" writer gets a second deal

In spite of all the attention paid to the TV movie Path to 9/11-- at least on the progressive blogs-- the airing was something of an anti-climax, garnering so-so ratings and not really causing much of a stir. But only after the word 'documentary' was removed from the official description of the film, and a couple of blatantly ahistorical moments were refilmed. It still left intact several choice bits of the "It's Clinton's fault" variety, but you can't have it all.

Apparently the film was good enough for the liberal pinkos in Hollywood, though, because they've handed conservative activist/screenwriter another contract.

The movie is to be based on a book, also called “Jawbreaker,” that blames the Clinton administration for failing to capture Bin Laden and praises President Bush:

In a memoir heavily vetted by the CIA (there are pages of blacked-out lines), Bernsten details feeling stymied by bureaucrats in President Bill Clinton’s administration who prevented operatives from engaging a growingly malicious Al Qaeda and Bin Laden presence. While Bernsten describes how he and his cohorts were stunningly told to stand down when they had Bin Laden cornered in Tora Bora, he writes approvingly of President George W. Bush’s handling of the invasion.

Too bad I already know how it ends.
