Fabricating history
Exploiting tragedy for political gain -

ABC docudrama on 9/11 jettisons accuracy in favor of fictional sensationalism.

It's unfortunate that ABC would trust the depiction of a still painful and politically volatile subject such as 9/11 to a writer best known for fantastical storytelling. The least ABC officials can do is remove segments found to be fictitious before distributing the movie to impressionable schoolchildren and a national audience.
