The Path to 9/11

"The Path to 9/11", an ABC mini-series will air September 10-11. It is directed by David Cunningham, son of YWAM founder, Loren Cunningham. Many YWAM interns worked on the set were an influence to the motion picture and television industry.

Dear Friends,

Please see the following link and spread the word to watch the movie I directed - THE PATH TO 9/11 on ABC – September 10th and 11th. It is a multi part film – not a documentary - on the events leading up to 9/11. It is told from the CIA, FBI, White House and terrorists perspective and based upon the 9/11 Commission Report.

It is starring Harvey Keitel, Patricia Heaton, Donnie Whalberg and a fantastic cast of almost 250 actors from 14 countries. We filmed in Toronto, Morocco, New York, Washington D.C., and one of only a few films ever to be allowed to film at the CIA headquarters at Langley. I have spend a year and half working on this show along with an amazing team of filmmakers.

We need your help to spread the word as there are so many 9/11 TV shows out there. Please send this to everyone you know and be sure to check out the link. Together we can make this a cultural even that will impact the nation.

Thanks a bunch,

David

Many people say it'd be cool to have more Christ-followers in industries like TV, Film, etc.

Here's a chance to support someone who's within the industry. David Cunningham son of Loren Cunningham founder of YWAM. David is well respected and has a movie (not a documentary) regarding 9/11 airing on ABC September 10 and 11.

...

With all the 9/11 films out right now, it be easy for this one to be lost in the mix! It'd be cool to spread the word about this and support someone who is doing what a lot of us say we want to see more of!

This is the first Hollywood production I’ve seen that honestly depicts how the Clinton administration repeatedly bungled the capture of Osama Bin Laden. One astonishing sequence in "The Path to 9/11" shows the CIA and the Northern Alliance surrounding Bin Laden’s house in Afghanistan. They're on the verge of capturing Bin Laden, but they need final approval from the Clinton administration in order to go ahead. They phone Clinton, but he and his senior staff refuse to give authorization for the capture of Bin Laden, for fear of political fall-out if the mission should go wrong and civilians are harmed. National Security Adviser Sandy Berger in essence tells the team in Afghanistan that if they want to capture Bin Laden, they'll have to go ahead and do it on their own without any official authorization. That way, their necks will be on the line - and not his. The astonished CIA agent on the ground in Afghanistan repeatedly asks Berger if this is really what the administration wants. Berger refuses to answer, and then finally just hangs up on the agent. The CIA team and the Northern Alliance, just a few feet from capturing Bin Laden, have to abandon the entire mission. Bin Laden and Al Qaeda shortly thereafter bomb the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, killing over 225 men, women, and children, and wounding over 4000. The episode is a perfect example of Clinton-era irresponsibility and incompetence.

The miniseries also has a scene in which the CIA has crucial information identifying some of the 9/11 hijackers in advance of 9/11, but refuses to share the information with the FBI because of the “wall” put up by certain Democrat officials to prevent information sharing between government agencies. The CIA is depicted as sitting in a meeting with the FBI (with John O’Neil present), and showing the FBI surveillance photos of terrorism suspects - some of whom will later turn out to be the 9/11 hijackers. The CIA asks the FBI for help in identifying the men in the photos, but refuses to give the FBI any of the information they have on who the men are. John O’Neil protests that it’s impossible for the FBI to help the CIA identify the men if they won’t provide any information whatsoever on them. When O’Neil tells the FBI to keep the photos so they can at least work on them, the CIA becomes hostile to O’Neil and takes the photos back. Tragically, John O’Neil himself will later die in the 9/11 attacks, in part because agencies like the CIA refused to share crucial information like this. Scenes like these really challenge the prevailing liberal media and Hollywood mindset by showing that the Patriot Act's information-sharing and surveillance provisions are crucial to the safety of this country, and that political correctness and bureaucratic inefficiency are Islamic terrorism’s greatest friend.

...

At a time when the resolve of this country in fighting the War on Terror seems to be flagging, "The Path to 9/11" - much more than Oliver Stone’s "World Trade Center" - will remind the nation why we’re in this war. "The Path to 9/11" provides the context and the history that "World Trade Center" misses. FrontPage Magazine ran an excellent interview recently with writer/producer Cyrus Nowrasteh (who spoke at the 2005 Liberty Film Festival). This quote from Cyrus will make clear why I’m so excited about this miniseries:

"Nowrasteh: This miniseries is not just about the tragedy and events of 9/11, it dramatizes “how we got there” going back 8 years to the first attack on the WTC and dealing with the Al Qaeda strikes against U.S. embassies and forces in the 90s, the political lead-up, the hatching of the terrorist plots, etc. We see the heroes on the ground, like FBI agent John O’Neill and others, who after the Œ93 attack felt sure that the terrorists would strike the WTC again. It also dramatizes the frequent opportunities the Administration had in the 90s to stop Bin Laden in his tracks ‹ but lacked the will to do so. We also reveal the day-by-day lead-up of clues and opportunities in 2001 right up to the day of the 9/11 attacks. This is a terror thriller as well as a history lesson. I think people will be engaged and enlightened.

2. And the credulous shall lead us
They already believe that Jesus is "coming in the clouds" to Rapture them away, that donkeys can talk, people can survive for days in the belly of a fish and people can be raised from the dead. Naturally they'll believe any slanderous myth about the godless Clintons.

4. more christ followers???? let's hope not ?
there is not much of the fairy tale christ in christianity as it is.

what so called christians need is more of the behaviors advocated by the alleged jesus and less
of the christ crowd.
