NYT REVIEW OF ABC 9-11 MOVIE

NEW YORK TIMES TV critics Alessandra Stanley reviews ABC's upcoming 'The Path to 9/11' in Friday editions, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.
""The Path to 9/11" is not a documentary, or even a docu-drama; it is a fictionalized account of what took place. It relies on the report of the Sept. 11 commission, the King James version of all Sept. 11 accounts, as well as other material and memoirs. Some scenes come straight from the writers' imaginations," writes Stanley.
"Dramatic license was certainly taken, but blame is spread pretty evenly across the board. It's not the inaccuracies of "The Path to 9/11" that make ABC's miniseries so upsetting. It's the situation on the ground in Afghanistan now."
Stanley concludes: "Hindsight is heartbreaking and disturbing to watch, even in a made-for-television movie. But it's even harder to take when those steps continue to contaminate the present."
