CIA Director George Tenet stated that in the summer of 2001, the system was 'blinking red,' indicating heightened alerts about potential terrorist attacks.

The failure to act on intelligence about bin Laden caught up with the U.S. when the USS Cole was attacked by a suicide bomber in 2000.

The idea of Al-Qaeda hijacking an airplane and flying it into a building was entirely plausible before 9-11, and officials knew it could happen.

The USS Cole bombing in Yemen was an early warning of Al-Qaeda's intentions, which were ignored by the U.S. government, leading to 9/11.

What if I told you 9-11 could have been prevented? Because the truth is, the warning shot came a year earlier. 25 years ago today, October 12th, 2000, the USS Cole, a billion-dollar Navy destroyer, was ripped open by an al-Qaeda suicide bombing in Yemen. 17 American sailors were murdered. Dozens more were wounded. Washington called it a criminal act, but in reality, it was Al-Qaeda's declaration of war, and America ignored it.

The Bush administration's actions suggest they were hiding something significant about the 9/11 attacks.

On July 10th, 2001, CIA Director George Tenet and his counterterrorism deputy, Jay Kofer Black, were alarmed by intelligence pointing to an impending attack by Al-Qaeda.

The CIA knew the hijackers were in the United States and planning an act of terror before 9-11.

This country needs a new 9-11 investigation. Justice demands it.
