Watch the part of ABC’s undocu-drama “The Path to 9/11” in which Sandy Berger goes weak-kneed when presented with an opportunity to order the killing of bin Laden. DISCLAIMER: This never happened in real life, and is one of the most blatant falsehoods contained in the miniseries.
Harvey Keitel, who stars in ABCs upcoming 9/11-themed miniseries, appeared on CNNs Showbiz Tonight to relate his own concerns over the projects manipulation of history. When asked if a work derived from 9/11 held a special obligation to the truth, Keitel responded: Absolutely, you cannot cross the line from a conflation of events to a distortion of the event. No. Where we have distorted something we have made a mistakeand that should be corrected.
