Compiled exclusively from official US government documents or sources : Prior Knowledge of 9/11
The author Robert Schopmeyer initially accepted the official 9/11 narrative. However, as he writes in his introduction, after attending open sessions of the 9/11 Commission Hearings in 2004 he became "increasingly perplexed regarding the intelligence agencies' excuses for not anticipating and preventing the events of 9/11." Thereafter, the author launched his own review of the pertinent documents. These include the 2002 Joint Inquiry Report prepared by the Joint House/Senate Intelligence Committee, the subsequent 9/11 Commission Report released in 2004, the Report by the FBI's Inspector General, various media sources, and the 2007 Report by the CIA's Inspector General.
The result is an excellent analysis based on a compilation of all of these sources.
The author is to be commended for digging deeper than most other researchers, including, for example, Lawrence Wright (The Looming Tower), whom he leaves in the dust. Schopmeyer shows how, time and again, the CIA withheld key evidence from the FBI, evidence which would have enabled the FBI to roll up the terrorists and prevent the 9/11 attacks. Where Wright insults our intelligence by leaving such loose threads hanging, Schopmeyer offers a rational explanation for the CIA disconnects.
The author concludes that these were not just mis-steps, but a deliberate and criminal pattern of obstruction of those honest investigators who were trying to do their job and protect the nation.
