9-11 Commission
The nine staff reports of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, and other data about and from the Commission are available on the web, including the most recent (Number 9) about the shortcomings of the FBI in the war on terrorism. The Bureau's shortcomings were caused by a mixture of internal cultural self-inflicted wounds and lack of financial support from superiors and the Congress. One of the Bureau's self-inflicted wounds, and a major shortcoming, in my opinion, is the arrogant attitude they have had for decades toward the Attorney General's office and any kind of external supervision.
