See, ABC, if you stuck to the facts, you wouldn't have to tinker or reshape the "docu-drama":
Under pressure from former President Bill Clinton and the Democratic Party, ABC scrambled on Friday to make 11th-hour changes to a miniseries suggesting he was inattentive to the Islamic militant threat that led to the September 11 attacks.Once ABC and Disney decided to let the right wingers re-write the story of 9/11, they were in trouble. It's one thing to play loose with the facts from something that happened 200 years ago. But, ABC and Disney seemed to forget that most of the people in this drama are still alive.
Officials at the Walt Disney Co.-owned network said they were still tinkering with the five-hour production, titled ``The Path to 9/11,'' which is scheduled to air without commercial interruption in two parts on Sunday and Monday.
But ABC declined to say how the movie was being reshaped or whether any changes would address specific complaints lodged by Clinton, his former aides and congressional Democrats that the film contained numerous inaccuracies and distortions.
Tinker away.
