Bitter CIA dispute over 9/11 failure and postwar strategy
Newly released CIA documents reveal internal feuding over whether intelligence agencies could have done more to stop the 9/11 attacks. The materials include a fuller inspector general report criticizing lack of a comprehensive strategy against al Qaida, and Tenet’s counterarguments defending actions and warnings. The dispute centers on agency legacy and policy, not direct White House handling.
