CIA 9/11 Report?

You’ve got to consider the source on this one, but Robert Scheer writes that the CIA has an undisclosed 9/11 report:

The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names names. Although the report by the inspector general’s office of the CIA was completed in June, it has not been made available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years ago.
“It is infuriating that a report which shows that high-level people were not doing their jobs in a satisfactory manner before 9/11 is being suppressed,” an intelligence official who has read the report told me, adding that “the report is potentially very embarrassing for the administration, because it makes it look like they weren’t interested in terrorism before 9/11, or in holding people in the government responsible afterward.”

Given the number of CIA leaks we’ve seen the past year, I dare say that if there is such a report we’ll soon be hearing more about it. It’s clear that some people in the CIA aren’t happy with Bush, and this is an opportune time for them to “get even.”

  1. It was completed in June and hasn’t leaked yet. Before today, the coverup was written about briefly on Sept. 14 in the NYT, but nothing came of it.
