'It is unconscionable to mislead the American public...'

Greg Sargent at TPM Cafe has obtained the full text of the letter sent by Bill Clinton's lawyers to ABC's Bob Iger regarding "The Path to 9/11:"

ABC claims that the show is based on the 9/11 Commission Report and, as Steve McPherson, President of ABC Entertainment, has said: “When you take on the responsibility of telling the story behind such an important event, it is absolutely critical that you get it right.”

By ABC’s own standard, ABC has gotten it terribly wrong. The content of this drama is factually and incontrovertibly inaccurate and ABC has a duty to fully correct all errors or pull the drama entirely. It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known.

EDIT: Several blogs, including Media Matters and Daily Kos, report that ABC has partnered with Scholastic to use "The Path to 9/11" crockumentary in classrooms. Kos links to the lesson plans on both Scholastic's and ABC's Web sites; however, both links are now broken. For me, the ABC link redirects to the home page for the show; so does the Scholastic link, but not before giving me a glimpse of the index page for the lesson plans.

EDIT 2: Scholastic explains the decision to pull the lesson plans:

“After a thorough review of the original guide that we offered online to about 25,000 high school teachers, we determined that the materials did not meet our high standards for dealing with controversial issues,” said Dick Robinson, Chairman, President and CEO of Scholastic.

Jamie Holly at Crooks and Liars is wondering why Scholastic Scholastic chose to do this "thorough review" of the lesson plans after they were already published. So am I.
