Patterico has reviewed an ABC movie entitled ‘The Path to 9/11‘ and gives it very high ratings.  I have seen several of these documentaries and usually walk away rather disappointed because they are interestingly selective on what information to put in and what information to leave out (the bias works on both sides), but Patterico claims this one is fairly even.  And besides, CAIR might be upset too so that means it’s good.

CAIR and usual “Islamic civil rights” crowd are also likely to burst a neck artery over this one. “The Path To 9/11″ shows how fanatics have managed to thouroughly infect pockets of the Islamic body-politic throughout the world. At the same time, the terrorists are not depicted as mere one-dimentional characatures (which ought to make CAIR’s P.C. rantings all the more difficult to sustain).

Ultimately, “Path” does not try to depict past “blame”, its ultimate goal is to push us forward towards more constructive policies in fighting the war on terror. That is why its underlying criticism becomes all the more powerful. Nobody will be able to dismiss this as a “partisan smear job”.

I hate setting my schedule based upon television, but in this case I’ll have to.
