add to cart   close window

The author offers some questions related to the attacks of September 11, 2001, the war against Al Qaeda and the proposed U.S. war against Iraq. He asks why the U.S. national security team ignored the Al Qaeda briefing it received from Sandy Berger, the national security adviser to former President Bill Clinton, in the fall of 2000. He also questions the failure by President George W. Bush to heed an August 2001 intelligence warning regarding the likelihood of an Al Qaeda hijacking. The author also questions the decision by President Bush to invade Iraq.
