a new video has been issued..NOW what do these ASSHOLES want to say???

[Leighton]

Probably just antagonising the situation cause of the anniversary.

Speaking of bullshit artistry, who saw 'Paths to 9/11'? God help those who take that as gospel.

Not wanting to start anything Leighton ( ), but just knowing your position on Bush etc, I'd read an article on that Documentary, and it said the administration was very pissed off about it, that it was really accusing them for not acting before the fact of 9/11. So i'd thought it would've been a show supporting that or what I thought was your site of the debate. Was it that bad that both sides are calling it a load of crap! ( I haven't seen it )


On topic, they're probably just releasing this cos they're pissed off Steve Irwin is hogging the media coverage in the US (bad taste I know )

Gotta love their metaphors though, the latest one was good:
"And the days are pregnant and giving birth to new events, with Allah's permission and guidance."

What will they think of next

yeah..it's on right now on TV....how fake is this movie??

i know it's not a documentry or stuff like that..but doesn't seem to follow any sequence

I agree that this message is probably more timed to antagonis America for this anniversary.

And show is the biggest pile o' shit ever. It makes up events that didn't happen, tries to blame an airline for a security failure that never occured, pretends bin laden was once surrounded, which he wasn't. In essence - it is nothign more than a mere fairytale.

I stopped watching at 11:30pm, up until then there was no Bush administration at all. I hadn't heard that the current crop are offended, but then again they'd have nothing to lose by saying that. The fact it's promoted as the "Official True Story" isn't exactly distancing itself from it when it's based on their report. A scene with Bush fishing while the infamous memo was trying to be presented would've been nice, but the program was an embarassment. Reading the 6 critical scenes I knew it was going to be a laugh, but people who don't know (or haven't read) the 9/11 report will just except it as truth. I'm glad there was a curfufful made, cause mindless dolts will now use the film as fact in arguements.

From a free speech side, I'm glad it was shown, it's a cool experiment to see exactly what kind of allegations you can make before people catch on that they're being misled. Unfortunately it's getting to the point where people will swallow anything.

I lost a ton of respect for Harvey Keitel last night. The idea had a lot of merit, but it was completely fucked over by people who wanted to get their message across. They even spelled people's names wrong. That's how shit their production was. The bizarre scene where a projected video of Clinton being mock-assinated by terrorists is truely the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

EDIT: Just looking around it appears that conservatives are a bit annoyed with it. Good to see. The Plebs are lapping it up though. I'm not surprised. Apparently America is getting an edited version though.

To try and bring this around to the topic, I think it's really interesting to see how both sides are using the anniversary to promote their cause. Sad, and not unexpected, but surely we're above it? Just get on with the job of ending it. Hitler was ended in less time than this whole bin Laden fellow.

Whats this video? I think im missing something along the way here haha

I just read that link that megametal posted; Ive always found it terribly ironic how Al-queida use the internet as a source of getting their information out around the world

edit - oh, is the video paths to 9/11?, or 11/9 in correct terms

[superman321]

Hey man, don't be too hard on Harvey Keitel, he is reported to be very, very unhappy about the final outcome, and has stated that it shouldn't be shown as is - with the false scenes etc. I watched some of it and just thought it was pretty damn laughable - just a terrible production. And yeah Dan, it is the path to 9/11 show.

ALso, it is terribly sad that the anniversary has to be used and abused this way - especially when in many ways the wounds are still quite open. Ohhh well - suppose really shouldn't expect anything different - I believe the same thing has been done in past years.

[Danallica]

An aside note but does anyone else get annoyed how its called 9/11 when the correct notation is 11/9, or is it just me being a knob?
