ABC's Path to 9/11 partly based on information from Bush admin PR official
http://mediamatters.org/items/200609070004

Marc Platt, the executive producer of ABC's upcoming two-part miniseries set to air on September 10 and 11, titled The Path to 9/11, has said that "every scene" of the film "is based on information from either the 9/11 Report ... or the books The Cell (co-written by the former ABC News correspondent John Miller) and Relentless Pursuit, written by Samuel Katz." However, in addition to co-writing The Cell: Inside the 9/11 Plot, and Why the FBI and CIA Failed to Stop It, Miller is also a member of the Bush administration, serving as the assistant director of public affairs for the FBI, as blogger Digby has noted.


It easy to read English: One of the books used for dramatization was "The Cell" written by John Miller who just so happens to be an AD of PR for the FBI

BTW, here's a bio on Mr. Miller:

1. Surprise, Surprise
All these goons are so transparent... it was so ridiculously obvious the Bushies were somehow directly related to this... this pretty much seals that argument off.

4. Thank Media Matters - 2nd favorite progressive website
(DU is #1)

And I adore David Brock, living proof that you can sink lowly to the realms of neo-conservative mudracking and still figure out you're writing crap and redeem yourself.

Brock is an old buddy of the Ann Coulter crowd but they turned on him with his HRC bio wasn't scathingly filled with putrid lies.

Read his 2 books: "Blinded by the Light" and "Republican Noise Machine" Great reading!

5. Should the value of this air time be charged to ABC as a political
contribution to the Repuke Party?
