CIA publishes pre-9/11 intelligence errors
Friday, August 24th, 2007 We’ve long known that the left hand of the Bush Administration (if there is one) has seldom known what the right hand is doing, and that both hands can’t grasp reality but it is shocking to learn how pervasive this is in the key area of Intelligence gathering. A 19-page CIA report on known intelligence, pre-9/11, written in 2005 and just now made public, claims that “to 60 C.I.A. officers knew of intelligence reports in 2000 that two of the Sept. 11 hijackers, Nawaf al-Hamzi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, may have been in the United States. But none of those officers thought to notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation about the potential domestic threat, the report says, evidence of what it calls a systemic failure,” according to the New York Times.
Instead, of course, Bush awarded Tenant the Medal of Freedom, the highest civil medal of merit in the land.
