Before he created "Breaking Bad," Vince Gilligan co-wrote a TV episode about a hijacked passenger plane flying straight toward the World Trade Center. It premiered six months before 9/11. In the story, a secret group inside the U.S. government takes remote control of a Boeing 727 full of passengers. The plan is to crash it into the Twin Towers, blame foreign terrorists, and start a profitable war. More than 13 million people watched it. The show was canceled a few months later, and most people forgot it ever existed. On September 11, Gilligan watched the attacks on CNN like everyone else. As he looked at the smoke rising from the towers, one thought hit him: "Wait a minute. We wrote this."

For the last 10 years, I have ignored false and misleading stories about me and focused on the work. But the cycle has gotten out of control where old lies get repeated as fact, new ones get added, and the record becomes increasingly distorted. So from time to time, I’m going to respond, not to every allegation. But when the truth matters, I’ll put the facts and supporting information out publicly, and people can judge for themselves.
