CIA failed to stop bin Laden before 9/11 says commission
The federal commission finds confusion over lethal authority hindered CIA efforts to kill Osama bin Laden before September 11, with reliance on Afghan groups and only a 10 to 20 percent chance of success. Tenet and Pavitt warned Bush that killing bin Laden would help but not end the threat. The panel's findings, to be released this summer, shape forthcoming political debate.
