Action item: Contact ABC about biased 9/11 film

I've seen a boatload of diaries and posts about this issue today, but don't have time to put together an entry of my own about it, so I'm going to directly lift what the Think Progress web site has to say, and link to them. If you fill out the form on this page, it will send your comments directly to ABC...

On September 10 and 11, ABC Television is planning to run an inaccurate film depicting the events leading up to the 9/11 attacks. The film was written by an avowed conservative and it largely places the blame for failing to prevent the attacks on the Clinton administration while whitewashing the failures of the Bush administration.

Our review of the film shows it to be full of such inaccuracies. Its distorted version of history is inconsistent with the 9/11 Commission Report, upon which it claims to be based. The events leading up to September 11, 2001 are too important and too tragic to play politics with the facts.
