'Path to 9/11' director answers critics

On Friday, David Cunningham, director of the controversial new ABC miniseries, "The Path the 9/11," gave a statement to The Crimson White, answering many critics of the show.

One of the major points Cunningham makes is that these outspoken critics, which include former National Security Adviser Samuel Burger and aide to former President Bill Clinton, Bruce Lindsey, attended a screening two weeks ago that featured only the first half of the film, which focuses on the years in which Clinton was president.

Another outspoken critic of the film is former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who has not even seen the film.

"A lot of these critics haven�t seen the whole thing or, in some cases, any of it," Cunningham said.

"We have these CNN pundits who haven't seen it who are taking scenes out of context as examples ."

Cunningham also pointed out that the critics, many of whom are Democrats, are just telling their side of the story.

"We have out CIA consultants and Clinton has his. It's kind of a 'he said, she said' situation right now," Cunningham said.

In the case of people like Albright who haven't seen the film, Cunningham said that "they are hearing things that people say about it, and then using that to come up with their own conclusions about the show."

Cunningham also said that the talk of ABC possibly pulling the show "is just a rumor right now."
