Harvey Keitel Movie:

The Path to 9/11 Reviews:
my elightenment
2009-10-25 - To me this documentary changed my mindset from liberal to conservative. Like the above writer, I wondered about the accuracy of the content. The fact that Bill Clinton had 13 chances to take out bin Laden before his delay leading up to 9/11. In the aruments I had with liberals, I developed the following response: 'Okay, let's say that 13 chances is an exaggeration. No one ever denied the documentary. Let's say your right. Let's just say that there were 10 chances; maybe 9; no, maybe 8; maybe 7; maybe 6; maybe 5; maybe 4; wait, let's just say he had only 1 chance to take out the man who financed 9/11. If, in fact, it is true, then, in my eyes the blood od 9/11 is on Clinton's hands'. And during Hilary's run for president, Disney was about to release the documentary to DVD. But, using their deep pockets, it was put away for awhile. Now that the dust is settled, there is talk that Disney might just release it.

One additional thought, if it were fiction, why did Bill blow up about it on TV news? And, when did they start putting good docudrams back in the vault?


Well made, but biased and inaccurate
2009-10-11 - As somebody who actually saw this miniseries (unlike the authors of the many 5-star "reviews" I've read here), I can tell you a lot of money was invested in this teleplay. Fine actors giving fine performances. And excellent production values to boot.

But it was very much biased against the Clinton Administration and quite lenient on the Bush Administration. This should come as no surprise when it's discovered the screenwriter was known to be a neo-con.

And this point of view would be fine...if it had been accurate.

I've read enough books and articles to understand that neither administration handled Al Qaeda perfectly, but the Clinton Administration was very much focused on fighting them and thwarted many efforts to attack the United States. It is also a known fact that the Clinton Administration warned the incoming Bush Administration of the terrorist threat. And that warning was ignored. Then it was too late.

One need only read Richard Clarke's book AGAINST ALL ENEMIES to get an understanding of this. And before you dare suggest Clarke is somehow discredited, even this very miniseries finds itself depicting Clarke for what he is and always was: a patriot and hero against terrorism.

It's the one thing PATH TO 9-11 got right.

On TV in 2006 only.
2009-10-09 - I really enjoyed this on television in 2006, but alas, it has been blocked by the Clintons. It will never make it mass production! Our loss...

Hope you taped it when it was broadcast!



Why the double standards?
2009-09-22 - When did it get "fashionable" to prevent the distribution of ANY film? Isn't our culture one of Anti-censureship, in any form? I saw this when it came out on TV and decided that this was one of those films that one should have in their library along with "13 Days", "JFK", "Battle of Britain", "John Adams", "The Great Raid", as well as other films of historical contributing value. But alas, there are those who deem it inappropriate to our fragile senses. Who died and made them our "Gods"? Whether you believe in it's premise or not, this film depicts a view during an important time in history. As such, it should be made available to all, because we were ALL effected by the events of 9/11 and this is just one side of the coin and there are those of us who feel that we should not be prevented of purchasing this film just because it offends some! We're not requiring them to purchase it and we'd like the opportunity to get a copy.

$ talks people!

pressure on the producers to release it, Amazon can. Let Amazon know they have
