Avoid the Memory Hole

ABC is doing a two-part special entitled The Path to 9/11 which will be aired on September 10th and 11th. Already, some people are outraged at this because, believe it or not, the show starts the path before January 20, 2001. I've read that it also doesn't absolve the Bush administration from fault either. Of course, some on the left want this special pulled because it appears that Freedom of the Press doesn't apply when citing inaction of the previous administration on the problem of terrorism. Sure, cite inaction all you want from January 20 through September 11, 2001 and I'll agree with you on most of it. However, to think that Clinton was the bulwark of anti-terrorism is just plain nonsense. Plus, 9/11 would have happened even if Gore were elected. It may have happened on July 11 or December 11 but it would have happened; thanks mostly to years (which includes the first months of 2001) of listlessness.
