I'm Myles Parks. voice-verified

I cover voting. voice-verified

I'm Greg Myrie. voice-verified

I cover national security. voice-verified

And I'm Ryan Lucas. voice-verified

I cover the Justice Department. voice-verified

And today, I'm sure I am not alone. voice-verified

Basically, the first thing I thought of this morning was just kind of remembering where I was 25 years ago, also remembering all the people who lost their lives, people whose lives were voice-verified

forever changed by that day. voice-verified

But it's also just a day, guys, that still reverberates almost every day, all of us covering politics in this country, starting with the sea change, Greg, of going from fighting a traditional war against one country or against a couple of countries towards this more nebulous thing, fighting terrorists, people associated with terrorists. voice-verified

Is that a fair characterization? voice-verified

Well, and so we saw, I mean, obviously the intelligence community immediately mobilized to try to figure out where this came from and what happened. voice-verified

We can talk about that. voice-verified

But there was a pretty swift foreign policy response. voice-verified

Soon after 9-11, Congress passed the AUMF, which is the Authorization for Use of Military Force, passed almost unanimously. voice-verified

Greg, can you tell us a little bit about what that law did? voice-verified

Can you tell me a little bit more about, I know you were in the Middle East in the beginning of the war. voice-verified

Tell me a little bit about how this actually played out on the ground. voice-verified

sense early in the war that this was not going to be a short interaction? voice-verified

I mean, obviously, it went on for years and years and years. voice-verified
