The 9/11 Files: The Cover-up Commission | Ep 2

Published | Video Starts at 01:57

The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as Al Qaeda. In a normal country, its leaders would insist on an answer to the simple question, how did a terror network closely monitored by the United States intelligence agencies, including a unit dedicated to following them at CIA headquarters in Langley? How did a group like that manage to pull off the 911 attacks in broad daylight? That's the question. But this is not a normal country. And it was never answered. In fact, the Bush administration ferociously opposed any attempt to look carefully at what happened that day. And that presents a bigger question. Why? What did they have to hide? (01:57–02:22)
