“The Path to 9/11,” first aired on ABC in 2006, portrayed President Bill Clinton’s administration as ignoring warnings and signs that Osama bin Laden and al Qaida were planning a major attack on the United States — a finding supported by The 9/11 Commission Report. But since 2006 Disney CEO Bob Iger has repeatedly refused to rebroadcast it, or to sell the rights to other broadcasters.
President Clinton and his national security adviser Sandy Berger refused to issue an ultimatum to bin Laden and the Taliban in Afghanistan after the USS Cole bombing in October 2000. Both Berger and Clinton later told the 9/11 Commission that there was not enough evidence at the time to link bin Laden to the bombing. Clinton and former President George W. Bush have both been publicly criticized for not militarily responding to that attack before September 11, 2001.
