I want to give you a chance to expand on your thoughts about 9/11. Thishas been described as a failure in many different ways such as: afailure of analysis (inability to connect the dots, or failure ofimagination or lack of critical thinking); a failure to shareinformation between agencies; a failure to disseminate intelligence; or afailure to provide actionable intelligence (among many others). What isyour assessment of the intelligence provided before the 9/11 attacks,and do you think it was a preventable attack or not?Iwould also like you to share your thoughts on what one specific changeto the intelligence actions that you think could have best contributedto preventing these attacks? Please note this question is specific tointelligence (collection, analysis, information sharing, coordination,etc). I am not talking about diplomatic, law enforcement, operational,or military actions (such as arresting Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalidal-Mihdhar in the U.S. or bombing Afghanistan before 9/11). I want toknow what specific action that you think intelligence could have donedifferently before the attacks that would have best helped the U.S.government discover al Qaeda s plans and operations regardless ofwhat political leaders and decision makers may have done or not donewith the information (of course realizing hindsight is 20/20).I highlyrecommend the additional readings in the lesson to help you answer thesequestions.So,to recap the two questions: 1) do you think intelligence could haveprevented the 9/11 attacks, and 2) what do you think intelligence couldhave done to prevent it?Thanks, JeffP.S. Someof the readings in this course I agree with and some I do not. However,that is your role as a student (and as an intelligence analyst) evaluate all the information and often conflicting sources, make anassessment, and then defend your position.
