The Bush administration opposed answering how a closely monitored terror network managed to execute the 9/11 attacks.

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

The Bush administration opposed answering how a terror network closely monitored by U.S. intelligence managed to pull off the 9-11 attacks.

U.S. intelligence agencies were fully aware that the hijackers were in the United States and even helped at least two of them get there.

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.

In May 2001, an intelligence report concluded that the FAA issued a circular to airlines warning of a heightened increase in hijackings.

On August 6, 2001, President Bush received a presidential daily briefing titled 'Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.' which indicated that Al-Qaeda members had resided in or traveled to the U.S. for years.

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.
