From the publisher: "Shining much-needed light on areas the 9/11 Commission preferred to keep dark, INTELLIGENCE MATTERS chronicles the efforts of a historic joint House-Senate inquiry to get to the bottom of our intelligence failures on that infamous day in 2001... Amid the media circus surrounding The 9/11 Commission Report, it [tells] more than a riveting tale -- it also provides an unflinching exposé of failure, incompetence, and deceit at the highest levels of our government...The Joint Inquiry, co-chaired by Senator Bob Graham (D-Florida), was the first and arguably most effective government body to investigate the horrendous 2001 attacks. Indeed, it helped compel a reluctant George W. Bush to establish the 9/11 Commission. But while both investigations sharply criticized the failures of our nation's intelligence establishment, only Graham's dared to challenge the Bush administration on a number of troubling points - especially the apparent complicity of Saudi officials in the events of 9/11, the subsequent protection provided by President Bush for a large number of Saudis (including members of the bin Laden family), and the run-up to the Iraq War, which Graham voted against... INTELLIGENCE MATTERS... provides a grim reminder of the challenges that remain for us in the war on terror.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. Hardcover.
