ABC 'PATH TO 9-11' TOP RATED SHOW OF MONDAY NIGHT... 8.3 RATING/12 SHARE FOR ABC MOVIE, BEAT 'CSI: MIAMI' RERUN [6.8/11] AND NBC 9-11 'DATELINE' [3.7/6]... DEVELOPING..

So much for my career as a programming handicapper. I thought it would do worse the second night.

The football games last night were not as interesting as watching the Manning brothers duel it out.

[conservativehusker]

I Tivo'd Sunday night and watched both halves last night (So count me in the ratings!)....expect for the last half..The presidents speech messed up the recording..Do you think thye will replay it??

[mainepatsfan]

So I guess Part Two did better against the two MNF games than Part One did against the Manning bowl.

[TommyDale]

I did the same thing. I had to manually record, however.
Maybe they will release the full, uncut version on DVD.

Some of us don't have cable and can't watch Monday night football anymore.

[EmilyGeiger]

I believe alot of people tivoed the movie the first night to watch the game and watched the movie later. Then these were the ones to show up last night to make the ratings high.

It was an excellent program overall even with the cuts I saw deleted from an online source.

But you certainly can see why the Clintons were so desperate to keep it off the air.

effin Clintons.

[Soul Seeker]

Vikes/Skins went to the end, but the Raiders are, well, still the Raiders.

I watched the first game, tried to watch the second, but no regrets when I left to switch to the continuation of this film.

This is a solid showing against the beginning of the football season.

"I believe alot of people tivoed the movie the first night to watch the game and watched the movie later."

I plead "guilty," your Honor.

[TommyDale]

If you TiVO, you are counted as a viewer. That is part of the system.

[EmilyGeiger]

Yep, but Richard Clarke's character disturbed me. No way he was that efficient! :)

[Red Badger]

I watched both nights and thought it, overall, a pretty good presentation of fact vs. the Klintoon spinmeisters. The film technique was interesting for about an hour, then it became annoying, tho........

[EmilyGeiger]

Oh, diddn't know that.

[arichtaxpayer]

Where did Part Two begin? I didn't watch it, so I'm wondering if there was much about the Clinton administration in the second half.

[SoFloFreeper]

I wonder what CNN's headline on this story will be. For Sunday, it was "Clinton, Most Americans Ignore "Path to 9/11" "

[bankwalker]

Yep, but Richard Clarke's character disturbed me. No way he was that efficient!

I think Richard Clarke should be president.

Due to watching 'The Path to 9/11' movie, I now know that he was much smarter than anyone in either the Clinton or Bush administrations. The only other people that were any good are both dead: Masood and O'Neill. Everyone else is an incompetent coward.

It's very fortunate for ABC that he decided to work for them, what a coup. Maybe they will give him his own show and call it 'Dick Clarke's American Grandstand'.

[bankwalker]

Part 1 made the Clinton admin look bad.

Part 2 made the Bush admin look bad.

Both parts made Clarke look like our savior.

[romanesq]

Agreed, Richard Clark practically had Angel wings on in the movie.
But what's worse, that or his self-serving Clintonista testimony that doesn't hold up to any scrutiny at all?

[gunnedah]

I hold the Clinton administration 95% responsible but Congress has a large hand in this. People fail to realize the turf wars that go on in every city and state in America just like they do in DC. It is time to think about consolidation in government to the extent where you have one director in each county such as over emergency preparedness and law enforcement. Look at the Katrina breakdown. I will bet most law enforcement agencies today in a county do not have direct contact with each other or a common channel of communication. Every branch of government has its territory and hierarchy and if that does change this film shows you what happens. Also the nay sayers on the telephone taps is directly related to the ACLU and ABA.My personal opinion is the turf wars and Jamie Gorelick memo which has been so conveniently swept under the rug is directly responsible for 9/11 along with Clintons lackadaisical attitude toward things in general such as the loss of the National Nuclear codes,aiding China and North Korea etc and so forth. On top of this we must keep our Congressman at home more and away from these lobbyist. It is surely a condemnation on them when Farm Bureau can buy them and prevent us from controlling the Sodium Nitrate that is so readily available to use in bomb making. Our Congress sells us out to special interest daily and that must be stopped.Then American must awaken to the fact we can demand our little old whims for our convienece but there is a big price to pay for it.
