The '''Path to 911''' is a documentary which focuses on the events leading up to the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the [[World Trade Centers]] and [[Pentagon]]. Using numerous sources, including [[The 911 report]] and personal interviews<ref> http://newsbusters.org/node/7456</reF>, writer and producer Cyrus Nowrasteh and director David Cunningham created an extremely detailed account of the [[Al-Qaeda]]'s founding and the Clinton's Administrations failure to act on evidence of an imminent attack.
Because of the controversy surrounding the events recreated in the film, and an upcoming election, [[ABC]] removed and edited some film
which depicted the Clinton Administration failures, including a scene where Clinton's national security adviser [[Samuel Berger|Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger]] declines to give the order to kill Bin Laden.<ref> http://newsbusters.org/node/7456</reF> Most of the criticism came from liberal filmmakers, such as Oliver Stone, and Clinton associates.<Ref> http://newsbusters.org/node/7422</reF>
The film was not released on [[DVD]] after it aired on television because of [[Hillary Clinton]] involvement in the upcoming presidential election. A ABC associate stated "if Hillary wasn't running for president, this wouldn't be problem," when referring to the film's failure to be released.<ref> http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1891413/posts</ref>
The five hour film was aired on September 11th and 12th, 2006 and received praise for its presentation, acting, and correct interpretation of events.<Ref> http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,213875,00.html</reF><ref>http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=16621 </reF>
