Password for "Path to 9/11" Blog?
Posted by Amy Gahran 5:31 PM

Password?
ABC.com
The sparse blog for ABC's docudrama now requests a password, and may be MIA (missing inaction).
Earlier I wrote about how ABC completely mishandled the blog supporting its controversial recent docudrama, The Path to 9/11. Today, I noticed that there hadn't been any postings to that blog since I wrote about it on Sept. 10.

So today I stopped by to check it out. I was amazed to find that this blog is now password protected! The show site is still there, but if you click "Blog" on the home page, you get a password prompt.

Huh? This seems awfully odd. I don't know what's up with this change -- whether the blog has simply been removed, or whether it still exists in some private form.

The latest Google cache of the blog home page is dated Sept. 15, and as far as I can tell it shows nothing different from when I last viewed the blog.

I'm guessing ABC simply ditched on the blog -- but if it still exists, and you have a password, please let me know. I'd love to take a peek, or at least hear about what's there.
