The Path to 9-11
(Special note to those who have arrived here while searching on ADVERTISERS for this film: The program has been scheduled to run commercial-free.)
Scene from The Path to 9-11.
UPDATE: The Path to 9-11
UPDATE 2: The Path to 9-11 Video Clips at ABC
Five years after Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. fielded armies on two fronts, defeated tyrannical regimes whose goals were global domination, invented the atomic bomb, and built the nation into a superpower.
In the five years since terrorists attacked on 9/11, there remains but a hole in ground where the World Trade Center once stood.
If FDR had to put up with the same divisive partisan politics which have currently disabled the country's will, the probable end result would have been the creation of a no-fly zone over Hawaii.
This brings me to a new film about 9/11 to be aired in two parts on ABC on the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attack, The Path to 9-11.
The film reportedly cites specific examples of the Clinton administration's failure to address militant Islamic fascism. Word has it that when this dramatization was aired recently in DC to a specially selected group of Democrats and Republicans, the Clintonites in the audience had a holy fit. While the Bush administration has routinely been taken to task for 9/11, the Clinton folks have never had to answer for their part.
Expect an all-out attempt to discredit the film, which is all the more reason to promote it.

(From ABC) -- On September 11, 2001 the world stood still as terrorists used four planes as lethal weapons against innocent Americans. The 9/11 Commission was formed to determine how such an attack could happen, and its report documents the trail from the 1993 World Trade Center bombing to the tragedy of that autumn morning. The bipartisan commission effort created a comprehensive record of events and provides valuable insight into what must be done to protect the nation in the future.
ABC will present "The Path to 9/11," a dramatization of the events detailed in The 9/11 Commission Report and other sources, in an epic miniseries event that will air with limited commercial interruption. Visit the ABC site.

Folks who are more upset over a "creative" depiction of events leading up to 9/11 than the actual events themselves are as much missing the point as the folks who say Bush is the enemy.
I will have to differ with you and say the Bush administration TOOK rather than ignored the Clinton advice and followed on the path of inaction.
It's pretty straight up empirical to me, if Bush and Cheney had ignored the advice, they would have responded to the Cole bombing. Iraq and Afghanistan would probably now be glass parking lots.
ABC's docudrama affected me on an emotional level. It was actually hard to watch the end of part two. Clearly the film wasn't depicting events in real time like "24" and certain scenes were constructed as composites of multiple events.
Since the film was a drama and not non-fiction, to say ABC lied is somewhat illogical.
In comparing apples to apples, folks should compare "The Path" not to the CBS film "The Regains," but to "Fahrenheit 911."
