Full Episode
The 9-11 Commission failed to fulfill the single task it was charged with, explaining how 9-11 happened and why. Instead, it lied. But the 9-11 Commission did achieve another goal.
Bush is winning, baby!
It protected the Bush administration, which went on to win a resounding reelection victory in the 2004 elections. It also provided a basis to radically transform our country and our way of life in the United States. The final 70 pages of the 9-11 report detail a long list of recommended reforms.
Those so-called reforms radically expanded the power of the very same agencies that failed to protect the United States from the terror attacks.
With my signature, This law will give intelligence and law enforcement officials important new tools to fight a present danger.
Some of those changes, like the Patriot Act, passed before the commission even issued its report.
We did not need new laws to allow wiretapping and surveillance because in all of the channels for the FBI, CIA, NSA, DIA, we had every bit of information we needed to stop the terrorists.
Kristen Breitweiser is a lawyer. She's also a 9-11 widow who has spent decades pushing for accountability for what happened on 9-11.
The attacks 100% should have been prevented, could have been prevented. The US government had everything it needed to stop the attacks.
