Preview Spying Blind: The CIA, the FBI, and the Origins of 9/11
Description:
Zegart has written a book about 9/11 that blames it on institutional failings not people. She does this despite referencing sources that show key people, such as Dina Corsi (FBI) and Tom Wilshire (CIA) at the heart of multiple key failures- some of which she cites, but usually without mentioning their names, or examining their role. In her book she mentions Condoleezza Rice twice- once in reference to Rice putting the blame on the FBI, the other putting blame on the Clinton administration. No mention is made of GW Bush abolishing the "existing system of Interagency Working Groups" Feb 2001, putting Rice in charge of coordinating the flow of info, and revoking the right of "heads of other executive departments and agencies, as well as other senior officials" to attend NSC meetings.

So what's going on here? Is this simply shoddy research? Political or career calculus? An attempt to disinform the public and promote a mythical narrative that serves an agenda?
The '9/11' myth about 'Al Qaeda (and no one else) attacked us' serves the agenda of those who used the attacks and the shift in public and Congressional opinion to massively fund the military-industrial complex, establish a domestic surveillance state and justify wars in geo-strategic nations that had nothing to do with the attacks. These are the same people who had received numerous warnings signs (including from at least 11 other nations) about an impending Al Qaeda plot, including info pointing to planes targeting US cities, who knew Al Qaeda operatives were in the US- and did nothing to disrupt the plot, harden security or warn the American people. Zegart does not critically examine 9/11 in this context, but the public record is available for anyone to research. The amount of public information that contradicts and disproves the official 9/11 narrative continues to grow, and it is continually being collected and organized at The Complete 9/11 Timeline [...]
One more thing that gives some insight on Zegart: as recently as June 2007, her bio at UCLA noted that "she studied under Condoleezza Rice" and "served as a foreign policy advisor to the Bush-Cheney 2000 presidential campaign". [...]
For some reason, this information is no longer part of her bio as of this writing: [...]
