"Path to 9/11" Program Based On The "Truths" in These Books
Here's the short list:
The Cell: Inside the 9/11 Plot, and Why the FBI and CIA Failed to Stop It (Hardcover)by John Miller, Michael Stone, Chris Mitchell (Editor)
Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Endangered America's Long-Term National Security (Hardcover)by Robert Patterson
The Connection : How al Qaeda's Collaboration with Saddam Hussein Has Endangered America (Hardcover) by Stephen F. Hayes "
If you are into being knowledgeable about what's happen and became of the United States since September 11, 2001, you may have read these three books, or at least heard of them.
Originally when Path to 9/11 (Part One) was aired on Sunday night "The Cell: Inside the 9/11 Plot, and Why the FBI and CIA Failed to Stop It" was listed as one of the books (besides the (9/11 Commission's Report) as where information to base and write the screenplay had come from.
As I watched the docu-drama unfold I saw how closely it followed chapter by chapter of The Cell which is an excellent book, well researched and a serious work of investigation by its writers on the events leading to September 11.
Personally I believe everything written between its hardcover's 348 pages is true and can not be disputed. It will come closer to the real truth of facts of why September 11th happened, than any FBI Top Secret documents which ever existed pre 9/11 or after the death and carnage occurred.
Here is a snippet of a Copyright 2002 review by Cahners Business Information, Inc. which explains the whole and intention of the book:
"The plot is tangled, but through it Miller, Stone and Mitchell follow two threads from 1990 up to September 11, 2001: first, "the cell," actually a series of terrorist cells, beginning with the one responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing a cell that, in one of their most illuminating revelations, the authors trace directly back to El Sayyid Nosair, convicted of murdering Rabbi Meir Kahane in 1990. The second thread is the Joint Terrorist Task Force, an FBI/NYPD squad whose sharp and dedicated members are the heroes of this tale, doggedly investigating the cells and their connections when not blocked by higher-ups. Miller, now coanchor of ABC TV's 20/20, scored an interview in 1998 with bin Laden, whose chilling words he repeats here ("You will leave [Saudi Arabia] when the youth send you in wooden boxes and coffins"). Miller, Stone (a noted criminal investigative journalist) and Mitchell (a senior editor at The Week) connect a lot of dots in this frightening and important book." Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. "
The second book is titled "Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Endangered America's Long-Term National Security" (Hardcover) by Robert Patterson.
Here in this book are the facts of the two times Osama bin Laden was in the crosshairs of being captured (before September 11th) told by "Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson who was a military aide to President Clinton from May 1996 to May 1998 and one of five individuals entrusted with carrying the "nuclear football"—the bag containing the codes for launching nuclear weapons."
Even if one chooses to ignore all else in the book where Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson writes on what he saw during his time of serving President Clinton in the White House, the chapters on the how and why bin Laden was never captured when the US had the clear and decisive ability to do so can not be ignored. The Path to September 11 could only allude to what are the facts written in this book by a man who saw with his own eyes why the US let bin Laden slip away twice.
The third book "The Connection : How al Qaeda's Collaboration with Saddam Hussein Has Endangered America (Hardcover) by Stephen F. Hayes, is a well research and documented book on why the War on Terror after 9/11 took the United States into The War in Iraq.
Many facts in this book are based on top-secret Iraqi Intelligence documents found when the American soldiers arrived in Baghdad, and interviews with high-ranking Bush and Clinton Administration officials. “The Connection” with evidence, shows that Sadam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Iraqi Intelligence and Mohamed Atta and even Jordanian born Iraqi terrorist Zaqawari had all interconnected and were not waging unrelated and separate wars against the US.
I will update this list later in the week with more books and articles which will help Americans realize that The Path to 9/11 wasn't some made up fantasy of a politically conservative screenplay writer. The events and facts which the story was based on are true and are alarming.

DAY OF INFAMY 2001
'Path to 9/11' producer sees ABC 'victory'
Says controversial film maintained message amid unprecedented pressure
September 12, 2006,2:40 a.m. Eastern
By Art Moore© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com
Despite unprecedented pressure from former President Clinton, his aides and top Democratic Party leaders that resulted in edits, ABC's airing of the "The Path to 9/11" was a success, says the writer of the miniseries.
In fact, with Clinton's lawyers pressing to cancel the five-hour docudrama, it wasn't until Sunday morning – the day scheduled for part one – that its airing was certain, according to Cyrus Nowrasteh, who also served as a chief producer.
Three scenes, totaling about 70 seconds, were altered in the $40 million production, which concluded last night.
"To lose only a minute is a success, is a victory," Nowrasteh told WND. "I think ABC stood tall."
The scene that underwent the biggest cuts depicted CIA operatives waiting for permission from Washington to attack Osama bin Laden at his Afghanistan fortress. The version that aired left out National Security Adviser Sandy Berger hanging up on George Tenet as the CIA director sought permission to go ahead.
Arguing for the original sequence, Nowrasteh said it represented "anywhere from eight to a dozen missions that failed, where there was a lack of will or intelligence to carry out the operation."
"We thought the composition, the conflation of events, would get the message across, symbolic of an overall reality," he said. "When you're doing a docudrama, you can't show every single instance."
Nowrasteh said the elimination of a "masterfully directed sequence" by director David Cunningham was unfortunate, but the main message was not lost.
"I think the intent and meaning are still there – there was indecision, there was a lack of resolution," he said.
The miniseries begins with the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 and follows terrorist plotters to hideouts in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kenya, Yemen and the U.S.
Among the many sources for Nowrasteh's script were the 9/11 commission report and the books "The Cell" by former ABC News correspondent John Miller, and "Relentless Pursuit" by Samuel Katz.
Another source was "Dereliction of Duty" by retired Air Force Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson, a former military aide to President Clinton who claims he witnessed several missed opportunities to capture or kill bin Laden.
Patterson told WND last week that Nowrasteh came to him in frustration Sept. 1 after network executives, under pressure from Clinton officials, began pressing for changes to the script. Following a preview showing by Nowrasteh, Patterson said the drama got it right.
"I was there with Clinton and Berger and watched the missed opportunities occur," Patterson declared.
Another scene in the preview version has White House terrorism czar Richard Clarke in a limo with FBI agent John O'Neill, telling him: "The Republicans are going all-out for impeachment. I just don't see in that climate the president's going to take chances" and give permission to kill bin Laden.
In the revised scene, Clarke tells O'Neill, "The president has assured me this ... won't affect his decision-making."
O'Neill says: "So it's OK if somebody kills bin Laden, as long as he didn't give the order. It's pathetic."
Even with the edits, however, a Clinton spokesman said the scenes ABC put on its air [Sunday] night are completely false and directly contradicted by the 9/11 commission report. ABC regrettably decided not to tell the truth [Sunday] night and instead chose entertainment over the facts."
But John Lehman, a Republican 9/11 commissioner insisted the episode was fair.
"It very well portrayed the events in a way that people can understand them without doing violence to the facts," he said.
Last night's episode included scenes that were not flattering to the Republican Bush administration, which took over eight months before the 9/11 attacks.
The White House has been silent about the film, however, and the complaints largely have come from Clinton supporters. One of the more provocative critiques was a piece published on the Huffington Post blog by Nation magazine contributor Max Blumenthal, who saw a "secret right-wing network behind ABC's 9/11 deception."
Blumenthal charged "The Path to 9/11" is "produced and promoted by a well-honed propaganda operation consisting of a network of little-known right-wingers working from within Hollywood to counter its supposedly liberal bias."
Nowrasteh dismissed the criticism.
"This project was generated at ABC at the highest network levels," he argued.
Senior Vice President Quinn Taylor, Nowrasteh pointed out, was the "motivating force" behind the miniseries, which brought together people from "broadly different backgrounds."
Some of the attacks have been personal, with numerous harassing and threatening phone calls made to Nowrasteh at his Los Angeles-area home over the past week.
Directors Ron Shelton and Oliver Stone are among Hollywood fixtures who publicly have supported Nowrasteh's effort, calling the criticism an overreaction.
Nowrasteh concludes: "My feeling about this, fundamentally, is that no matter how you do this, it's such a hot-button topic, there would be squawking from somewhere. You cannot please everybody."
