Amid the controversy over ABC's fact-challenged "Path To 9/11" (which is still scheduled to air tomorrow night), writer/producer Bryce Zabel noticed something odd: The poster for the "docu-drama" is strikingly similar to that for his 1996 TV series "Dark Skies." Like ABC, we're going to stick stringently to the facts: Apparently, in a secret meeting with CIA director George Tenet, ABC president Bob Iger was asked if he wanted to "take out" the movie poster for "Dark Skies" and Iger angrily hung up on him. Then President Clinton came in and they ate tacos and talked about how delicious they were (whoops, sorry, that was lunch break; originally the producers included it because they thought thought they were "improvising"). The above makes no sense but it's a helluva lot more credible than "Path of 9/11."
