The article discusses some questions about failure of intelligence of the U.S. on September 11, terrorist attacks 2001, in several places of the U.S. The U.S. President George W. Bush is now in the political cross-hairs for the failures of intelligence agencies in identifying and understanding terrorist threats. The trouble is, this failure is too serious to amuse. The ineptitude preceding of September 11, 2004 arguably heightens the gravest, most immediate threat to national security because, while the dangers may lurk in the twilight zone, they can, turn real. Yet this the U.S. is relying on two intelligence agencies that don't even wish to talk to each other and that not only failed to anticipate September 11 attacks but that have also failed to locate Al Qaeda Osama Bin Laden.
