Harvey Keitel speaks out on Path to 9/11: "It turned out not all the
facts were correct"

Harvey Keitel speaks out on "Showbiz Tonight about the controversy
ABC's "Path to 9/11" has caused and in which he stars.

Keitel: Yeah, I had questions about events-material I was given in
the Path to 9/11 that I did raise questions about. Yes, I had some
conflicts there.

Q: How was that met?
Keitel: With discussion..ummm with argument. When I received the script
it said ABC history project -I took it to be exactly what they
presented to me. History-and that facts were correct. It turned out
not all the facts were correct and ABC set about trying to heal that
problem..In some instances it was too late because we had begun.

Q: Do you feel that anything should be changed in this film?
Keitel: Yes I do. This is a tough issue, sure. You can compile certain
things as long as the truth remains the truth. You can't put things
together, compress them and then distort the reality.

Q:...in the case of September 11th though, do you feel that it is an
absolute responsibility that it be factually accurate even if it is a
dramatization?
Keitel: Absolutely, you cannot cross the line from a conflation of
events to a distortion of the event. No. Where we have distorted
something we have made a mistake-and that should be corrected. It can
be corrected. It can be corrected by the people getting involved in the
