Path to 9/11 Writer Slams Critics, Defends Movie As Totally Accurate

In today’s Wall Street Journal, Path to 9/11 writer Cyrus Nowrasteh defends his screenplay as accurate. Nowrasteh writes:

I felt duty-bound from the outset to focus on a single goal–to represent our recent pre-9/11 history as the evidence revealed it to be. The American people deserve to know that history: They have paid for it in blood…Fact-checkers and lawyers scrutinized every detail, every line, every scene. There were hundreds of pages of annotations.

4. Hey, once you start lying it is hard to stop

Of course, he is just following the script of his "masters" Uncle Dick and Father Bush...

5. Since when does "fact checking"

NOT include talking to the people involved? Or NOT giving them advance copies of the final edit? Or including scenes which are fabricated, distorted and untruthful?

Only in GOP World, I guess.

6. If The People Who Were There, Say Something Didn't Happen. . .

. . .then the fact checkers did a terrible job, and the lawyers weren't concerned with truth, only liability.

So, you can say everything was "fact-checked" but it's provably in error. So, the fact checking was done BADLY!

7. Nowratesh is a well-known Repub-licking opinion-whore.

He just follows the philosophy of:
"make your lies so outrageous that people
will assume they MUST be true, on the grounds that
no SANE person wold tell such an obvious LIE."

And he's doing it again: "Fact-checkers and lawyers
scrutinized every detail, every line, every scene..."

Yup, no SANE person would tell such an obvious lie.

8. dedicated to a Godly transformation and revolution

Discover the Secret Right-Wing Network Behind ABC's 9/11 Deception, Max Blumenthal at the Huffington Post, September 8, 2006

"Before The Path to 9/11 entered the production stage, Disney/ABC contracted David Cunningham as the film's director. Cunningham is no ordinary Hollywood journeyman. He is in fact the son of Loren Cunningham, founder of the right-wing evangelical group Youth With A Mission (YWAM). The young Cunningham helped found an auxiliary of his father's group called The Film Institute (TFI), which, according to its mission statement, is "dedicated to a Godly transformation and revolution TO and THROUGH the Film and Televisionindustry." As part of TFI's long-term strategy, Cunningham helped place interns from Youth With A Mission's in film industry jobs "so that they can begin to impact and transform Hollywood from the inside out," according to a YWAM report.

Last June, Cunningham's TFI announced it was producing its first film, mysteriously titled "Untitled History Project."

10. Their little mission is in jeopardy now I imagine

having been exposed and all.

11. I hope this bunghole goes on the talking head circuit

If he is so adamant about it, why doesn't he go out in the public square and face his detractors?

cuz he'd have his ass handed to him.

[blm]

12. Then why did you OMIT the HartRudman Report on Global Terror handed to WH

on Jan 30,2001 and that Bush REFUSED To read, Cyrus?

And no mention of the Bush's LONGHELD ties to the Bin Laden family? Ever hear of BCCI, Cy?

If BCCI isn't part of the story, then there is no hope for an accurate portrayal.

13. Cyrus Is An Iranian/American With An Axe To Grind Sounds Like Chalabi

His family left Iran like many wealthy people did after the Shah was overthrown. Cyrus wants his "Iran" back and IMHO he will be a willing participant in the propaganda to fuel a war with Iran. He was just cutting his political BS chops with this hack piece. Narcissistic fucking asshole.

14. Hey my future wife.
