“The Path to 9/11” – The film the Clintons (still) don’t want you to see.

“The Path to 9/11,” a two-part five-hour miniseries, aired only once on ABC in 2006, yet is still not available on DVD.

Why? The series was a $40 million investment for the network which drew 25 million viewers and received seven Emmy nominations. So why wouldn’t the network want to recoup its investment?

The suppression and censorship appear to be due to pure politics and legacy-protection, primarily on behalf of the Clintons, although neither Bill Clinton nor George W. Bush came off in a particularly heroic light in the film.

As The Los Angeles Times reported in 2007, “the miniseries’ writer, Cyrus Nowrasteh, believes it’s crystal clear: Powerful forces are out to protect Bill Clinton’s presidential legacy and shield Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) from any potential collateral damage in her bid for the White House.

“Nowrasteh, also one of the miniseries’ many producers, said he was told by a top executive at ABC Studios that ‘if Hillary weren’t running for president, this wouldn’t be a problem.'”

Perhaps Hillary is still holding out hopes for the nomination in 2012. Otherwise this film certainly ought to be available by now.

  • okay that is interesting. so it is a dramatized story put together from here and there. but since the clintons do not want that out there then it must mean there are a lot of truths in it.

    • KQ, the Clinton's are veeeeery sensitive about the legacy of Bill Clinton's Presidency. Very protective, & they know that many, myself included, feel they were soft on terrorism. They viewed it as a law enforcement issue, not a national security issue, & they don't like hearing it. Time after time after time, we were attcked, & Bill did little to hit back. Then 9/11 happens, & most people know that they were planning it long before Bush43 was even a candidate for President. The film shows that, it make them look bad, & they don't like it. Is it an accurate portrail of what happened, I don't know. But Clinton's reaction to it is telling.

      • Right it does. The fact that he doesnt want it out there speaks loud and clear.

        As for his softness on terrorism definetly. Last night saw O'Reilly and he had this dude forgot name who was CIA back in the day when Clinton was Prez and left at the middle of Bush's Presidency. He went down hard on O's current counterterrorism advisor who was part of the CIA back in the days of Clinton and he was part of the decision to not go after Bin Laden when it was possible to get him at least 10 times and they may have had 14 opportunities. He did say that the most successful opportunities would have been 2-3 times but that is 2-3 times more than we have now. Now though it is too late he has already done a lot of damage even if he (or his people) do nothing more devastating as 9/11 again they still made a serious blow on this country.

        Clinton did not want to do it, he did not want to go after Bin Laden and he relied on the Saudis to help and they haven't and still aren't helping yet O is bowing down to the Sheik (or King). It is disgusting.

  • is the clip on youtube? I heard about it but at the time I dont think I cared to see it I thought it was going to be a Oliver Stone type thing. did anyone hear that th idiot is doing a series about men lke Hitler and Stalin and putting their actions within "context"?
