Dorgan Works to Cover Up Clinton's Failures to Fight Terrorism

President Clinton and his defenders have driven themselves into a hysterical panic about ABC's movie about 9/11. They have demanded that changes be made to the movie. In fact, North Dakota's own, Senator Byron Dorgan, joined fellow Democrats in signing a letter to ABC demanding changes be made to the movie or it be pulled from the TV schedule.

Dorgan and his fellow Democrats' actions make me wonder if the movie strikes too close to home. Are they just trying to cover up President Clinton's failures in fighting the increasing threat of terrorism in the 1990's?

They are trying to censor a "dramatization". They are issuing a veiled threat to ABC. They are attempting to re-write history. This free society is not being well-served by their actions.

The Democrat's actions remind me of the saying: Where there is smoke ... there is fire.

I wanted to share this post from powerline blog (www.powerlineblog.com) that most clearly highlights Clinton's failure to address the growing menace of terrorism during his tenure.

Did the Dems Threaten ABC?

The Democrats have gone nuts over the ABC miniseries, The Path to 9/11. But it's a little hard to see why. Maybe it's because Disney and ABC have been reliably pro-Democrat in the past, so the Dems feel betrayed.

Looking at the big picture, though, it's a little hard to see what the Dems are complaining about. I haven't seen the miniseries, but I take it that it doesn't portray the Clinton administration as having taken very effective action against the growing threat from Islamic terrorists. What I don't understand is how the Democrats think they can rewrite history to challenge that characterization.
