Congress Says U.S. Repeated 9/11 Failures in Christmas Day Bombing Plot
Will update as more becomes available -- and no surprises hereCongressional investigators say some of the same intelligence failures that led to the 9/11 attacks also allowed a man to slip on board a U.S.-bound jetliner with a bomb on Christmas. The Obama administration has said that the nearly catastrophic bombing was not a failure to collect and share intelligence like before the Sept. 11 attacks. Rather, it said it was a failure to understand that intelligence. The Senate Intelligence Committee disagrees. A 16-page summary of its investigation says some of the same systemic problems remain in place nearly a decade after the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. Posted by: Sherry 2010-05-18 |
