Memory of 9/11 shifts CIA focus to counterterrorism
Veterans recall months of vigilance before 9/11 as counterterrorism teams stayed in place and sleep in cars. The second plane strike triggered evacuations at the CIA and a shift to Afghanistan. One agent recalls a 2 a.m. call to the basement, a new focus on Osama bin Laden. Olson, at home with his infant son, faced the moment planes grounded and fighters patrolling.
