Let's hope not, I hate censorship.
I know free speech! I am not one of those 58%
From the L.A. Times today. Here's the link so you can read the whole article for youself. I will post some of the highlights...

The basic theme is there are several dozen television DVD's slated for release on September 11th. Path to 9/11 which had high viewership is not one of them.
""With no date for the release, questions are being raised about whether political pressure is behind its current status as a stalled or discarded DVD project. The reasons are murky, but the miniseries' writer, Cyrus Nowrasteh, believes it's crystal clear: Powerful forces are out to protect Bill Clinton's presidential legacy and shield Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) from any potential collateral damage in her bid for the White House.
Nowrasteh, also one of the miniseries' many producers, said he was told by a top executive at ABC Studios that "if Hillary weren't running for president, this wouldn't be a problem."""
"""This isn't about politics, said film director Oliver Stone, but about the right of artists to have their work distributed.
"This is a shame; it's censorship in the most blatant way," said Stone, who has hired Nowrasteh for several writing projects. "I'm not vouching for its accuracy -- it's a dramatization -- but it's an important work and needs to be seen."""

sad... like she has a chance anyway
gives u idea that hillary is same as bush when it comes to personal freedom and liberties. We need a champion of the people in 08.. unfortunately this will not happen.
I haven't looked into this too much, but I would put more money on the fact that Hillary has powerful supporters in Hollywood who are doing this on their own.
Not that I put it past her, but she's too shrewd to leave any trail for something like this...
its abc that isnt releaseing the dvd, they have the distribution right i think... i could be wrong but i think that what i read
This is the evidence:
Nowrasteh, also one of the miniseries' many producers, said he was told by a top executive at ABC Studios that "if Hillary weren't running for president, this wouldn't be a problem."""
Oh, ok. Well, they are talking to the same audience who sat slack-jawed with belief and fear when they were told "I was told by a senior admistration official that Saddam is preparing to attack NYC with chemical weapons, within two weeks".
I think it is far more likely they are holding it until closer to Primary time as it will sell better then.
However, if the person who owns sole rights to release a movie chooses not to in order that you might not see it and have a thought that they don't want you to have, it would be censorship, IMO.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Aww Cawacko, are you done crying yet? Were you boo hooing when this right wing hit job, filled with BS, was broadcast on ABC before the 04 election?
and your little right wing hit job will get released before the 08 election don't worry, but, unfortuntely liberals this time aren't letting the subject get changed from:
HEY BUSH, WHERE IS BIN LADEN????
And that, I can guarantee you.
At this point, Bush has had almost as much time to get Bin Laden as Clinton had.
The big difference? Bush has an infinitely BIGGER reason to go after Bin Laden, and more leeway to utilize resources, than Clinton ever had.
Smaller difference - I don't think Clinton ever said OBL was irrelevant...
Lol how many people would buy this. They'd probably lose money on producing the dvd. Sounds like a good business decision not to release it.
