The Path to 9/11

i've refrained from posting on this as other bloggers have been doing such an outstanding job of making it visible and encouraging direct action... however, i've sent several emails myself, and will probably send several more... here's something quick and potentially very effective we all can do...

We need your help to keep the pressure on. Are you ready to take the next step?

As you may know, ABC is owned by the Walt Disney Company. Today we are asking you to contact the Chairman of the Board of Disney, former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell. We need to remind him that 9/11 was a national tragedy, and that politicizing and misrepresenting the facts about 9/11 is wrong.

Senator Mitchell has a long and distinguished career both inside and outside government, and he knows how important it is to accurately represent historical events. News reports and our independent research have demonstrated that there are numerous falsehoods and misrepresentations in this docudrama.

The events leading up to 9/11 are too important to play politics with the facts. Please call and email Senator Mitchell today and tell him that telling the truth about 9/11 matters.

here's the email i sent to senator mitchell...

Dear Senator Mitchell,

I have great respect for you and your diligent efforts in a number of areas, most particularly the conflict in Northern Ireland. I believe you have a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong, what is true and what is false, and, in particular, for many of the issues that are dividing and threatening to seriously damage our great country, the United States.

I have watched lie after lie being told over the past few years, to the point that I find it almost impossible to access news media without finding that the "news" has been spun to the point that it is almost impossible to distinguish news from political rhetoric and political rhetoric from outright propaganda. I now see that the Walt Disney Company and the ABC television network are planning to air a fictionalized account of the tragedy of 9/11, an account that takes fundamental facts of that terrible day and distorts them to make it appear that the previous presidential administration was culpable in allowing the attacks to happen. This is nonsense as anyone who bothers to find out the truth can tell you.

I ask, Senator Mitchell, in fact, I beg, that, in your capacity as Board Chairman for the Walt Disney Company, to take strong action to prevent this distortion from being shown and presented as fact (disclaimers notwithstanding) to the American people. Do the right thing, Senator Mitchell, for your country.

Best regards,
