What was the NSAs reaction to 9/11
the greatest intelligence failure in history?
After all, overwhelming evidence shows that 9/11 was foreseeable. Indeed, Al Qaeda crashing planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was itself foreseeable. Even the chair of the 9/11 Commission said that the attack was preventable.
And a top NSA whistleblower says that the NSA had all of the information it needed prior to 9/11 to stop the attacks. The only reason NSA didnt share that information with other agencies is because of corruption
in an effort to consolidate power. And see this.
As a high-level NSA whistleblower notes in a brilliant new documentary coming out in September, the reactions to 9/11 by the number 2 and number 3 official at the NSA were:
9/11 is a gift to the NSA. Were going to get all of the money we need
and then some
and
Well milk this cow for 15 years
How can this be true?
Because mass surveillance has nothing to do with preventing terrorism.
