The 9/11 Commission Markle Foundation Task Force -Why did this happen, where did Government fail? -What does Government have to do differently? 2 U//FOUO
Markle Foundation Task Force Testimony – 9/11 Commission identified, both the CIA and the FBI failed to disseminate information in the run-up to the attacks. “The culture that led to this failure is vividly illustrated by a CIA analyst who told the 9/11 Commission that he did not volunteer information he knew about a suspected terrorist when the FBI showed him surveillance pictures of the individual because he “was not authorized to answer FBI questions regarding CIA information.”
