believe Bin Laden is dead. Second, he probably got killed when we bombed the mountains.

Do you think those terrorists are going to admit "Hey the US killed our leader?" Um no!

We do not know if he is dead or alive. In a nutshell we do not know anything.

My opinion, if its worth anything, is that hes alive and hiding in a cave somewhere.

I also think he is dead. Why absolutely no tapes from him in quite some time?
He suddenly just quit making them? (no need for comments)

I think it would be a shame if he was dead. Id much rather see him die at the end of a rope than in a bombing or of natural causes.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Rather than have a new tape for the anniversary, an old tape with the hijackers on them was released. I've also noticed in the last few tapes we saw of him he looked ailing also.

This is what the movie is about.

So, do you all like the director of this film? Who produced it?

me too...but realistically, I'm too old the way our justice system moves with death sentences to ever have a glimmer of hope of seeing that, therefore, I'd like to see him killed any old way.

NBC moved into the lead at 8 p.m. with the debut of "Sunday Night Football," which combined with the final segment of the pregame show for a 12.0/19. ABC's movie "The Path to 9/11" earned a 7.6/12 for the hour to take second. CBS got a 6.2/10 from "60 Minutes" and the documentary "9/11." FOX aired the season premieres of "The Simpsons," 6.9/11, and "American Dad," 5.3/8. "Charmed" brought up the rear for The WB.

The NFL game between the Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants improved to 13.2/20 at 9 p.m. ABC's movie stayed in second with an 8.2/12, while "9/11" improved to 7.6/11 on CBS. FOX stayed in fourth with "Family Guy," 5.9/9, and "The War at Home," 4.6/7. The WB closed its night with a second "Charmed."

At 10 p.m., "Sunday Night Football" delivered a 12.9/21 for NBC. "The Path to 9/11" drew a 7.9/13 for ABC, while the end of "9/11" and "Cold Case" averaged 5.6/9 for CBS.

Yeah ... I wasn't going to go there, since I can't see how a discussion of who's financially and logistically behind this film could possibly avoid becoming political ... and to be fair I don't know how much is coincidence and how much is significant connection.

Since it's "The Path TO 9/11," I'm not sure they've cover much of the aftermath.

Hmmm ... not sure when the shoe was on the other foot. Did some network broadcast a similarly falsified history of any matter of even remotely comparable import in the past?

Early on in this thread, I said that I agreed with the CBS decision to not air their docudrama about the Reagans when some issues were raised about its factual accuracy. But none of the false things in that docudrama touched on anything close to the gravity of the false claims made in this one.

So I'd say it is I who am being even-handed here.
