ON THE MORNING of Sept. 11, 2001, Americans — and the world — froze, saddened and angry. Five years later, we stop to remember those we lost and those who have sacrificed in our defense since, and to reflect on what we must learn. History will define us not by the events of that day but by who we choose to become as a result.
Regrettably, ABC has chosen not to document but to dramatize this most critical of times. Its miniseries, "The Path to 9/11," opts for fiction when fact is needed and chooses mythmaking when the candor of history is called for. The 9/11 commission report tells the story with clear-eyed honesty, precision and studious impartiality. The ABC drama does not. The 9/11 commission spent hours interviewing virtually everyone connected not just with the events of that day but those involved in counter-terrorism over 25 years — Republican as well as Democrat. ABC did not.

Barbara Bodine had only the smallest part in these events. How does she know what is bunk in this production?
Yeah! Why couldn't ABC have made "Pathway" an objective fact filled documentary like "Fahrenhait 9-11", that unbiased film maker Michael Moore did? What a crock? </sarc> Whatever. Pathway was more than objective and I have yet to see ANYTHING that any liberal has put forward that was in the movie that is false. As usual, liberals accuse things of being biased, but never can back it up. They know Pathway is true and accurate, they just don't like it so they call it a lie.
Coming from this specific individual, all I can say is.......WOW!
"This is akin to having Jamie Gorelick on Nightline last night."
Jamie Gorelick is a Clinton lawyer.
Well. I for one would like to see some investigative reporting on confirming her broughaha with John O'Neill.
If it happened like that, there MUST have been people there to confirm it! And we KNOW the FBI was not getting any help from the Yamanis...or is the YeMENees? Or the YEmenEES...:)
The truth for everyone to see hurts doesn't it Ms Bovine....Bodine.
I thought it was a very good film. Too bad the Clintonistas had to ruin the original.
Google Bodine and enjoy a good read. The lady has been all over. In fact, she was appointed "gov" of Baghdad after the war ended and lasted three weeks. Bremer sacked her. But GWB appointed her from the State Dept. I was amazed.
Things are rarely as simple as they seem.
ROTFLMAO!
The Jason Blair seal of approval!

What a incompetent, worthless hag.
She was delusional. Yemen is staunchly islamic. They look at women as chattle... lower than men in every way. They had NO repsect for her, and she was alive only because of the U.S. Marines that were guarding her sorry POS a$$!
LLS
Most Lesbian and feminists tend to be 'butch' type people based on my observations and experience.
She has an interesting history and ties, including to GWB.
It would be interesting to tease out just what and who she is.
But this thread is so filled with ignorant comments and crude comments,,nobody seems interested in how GWB appointed her to a big position in Iraq after the war. And how she got away with barring Oneill from Baghdad. This woman gets around all over the place, has a long history with many ties.
Sometimes the adolescent name calling on FR doesn't shed any light, it seems like a vanity. Calling a woman sexually insulting names doesn't prove anything other than the name caller is a jerk and can't think of any other way to express himself.
Barred oneill from Yemen, not Baghdad.
