Controversial 9/11 mini series to air

Following much controversy, ABC will move forward and air its $40 million production two part mini-series `The path to 9/11`. The production is still in editing and might receive a few tune ups due to the fact that many have been voicing their opinion concerning the display of `unfair attacks on the Clinton administration` that is shown in the mini series. There are accusations against the Clinton administration claiming that it failed to act on terrorist threats in the years leading up to the 9/11 attacks. Petitions have been signed by members of the democratic national committee, who claim that the actions, or errors and failures, of the Bush administration were overlooked.

`The path` is a five hour docudrama that has got the political front stirring uncomfortably. Those involved in the series` production believe that it is crucial that viewers should understand how El Qaeda was looking to harm the American nation, how they developed a plan but also how the Government not only failed to stop them but even failed to slow them down. Attacks coming mainly from the Clinton foundation are accusing the creators of two main issues. `Destroying the bipartisan aura of the 9/11 Commission and tarnishing the hard work of American commissioners`. It seems the objections will be to no avail, and the mini series will not meet the same destiny that `The Reagans` received a while back.
