Fight media with media. Don't like the ABC/Disney version of "the path to 9/11"? Make your own. With Youtube, Google video, Crooks and liars and other internet media outlets, we have the opportunity to deconstruct and demolish this "docudrama" and provide an alternate version - sort of a wiki-umentary...
What I envision is that we take the script and video material from the "Path to 9/11" and create new versions and a counter history. One very simple approach would be a "Kos Cut" version - like the "fan recut" of a "Phantom Menace" that removed all images of Jar-jar Binks. We could simply remove all factually unjustified scenes. Or, the more sophisticated might be able to recut existing footage, perhaps add some off-camera dialogue, and make the film more accurate.
We could take the concept further out there. We could add scenes, perhaps with sock puppets, animation or amateur actors (the more amateur, the better) showing scenes that we would like to see - for example, a scene of Bush telling the CIA guy (who just briefed him on the PDB "Bin Laden Determined to attack America") "All right. You've covered your ass, now."
This would all be legal under the "fair-use" doctrine.
Where are all the creative kossaks? Anyone out there with a server and the web know-how to create a site for "path to 9/11" remixes and mash-ups? While the video files could be stored elsewhere, it would be great to have a forum site for discussion and collaboration.
Cheers,
