Three officials who were part of the Clinton administration heavily objected to the six-hour miniseries produced by ABC and scheduled to air on Sunday and Monday. They claim that, despite trying to pass for a documentary, it depicts facts that never took place or that were taken out of their context.

Former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, former National Security Adviser Samuel R. Berger and former White House aide Bruce R. Lindsey say that all their actions have been misrepresented and twisted to show something else than the truth in 'The Path to 9/11'.

'It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known', the latter official said in a press statement, after asking the ABC executives to change the content of the film, and especially the one referring to them, as to illustrate the truth 'as it was'.

The only thing that the network agreed to was to include a disclaimer in the film that will warn viewers that 'Path' is a 'dramatization... not a documentary', which contains some 'fictionalized scenes'. And, just to set things straight, the disclaimer will also include a statement saying that the movie was based on the September 11 Commission's report.

Although the outrage the film created, ABC still has the final say in the matter. The film 'does contain composite and conflated scenes and representative characters and dialog, we've worked very hard to be fair. If individuals feel they're wrongly portrayed, that's obviously of concern. We've portrayed the essence of the truth of these events. Our intention was not in any way to be political or present a point of view', the movie's executive producer, Marc Platt, stated.

Neither of the three officials will be provided with a copy of the movie prior to its broadcast, was the final decision coming from the ABC executives.
