NSA's role in eavesdropping-before and after 9/11. Drawing on dozens of
interviews with agency insiders and probing publicly available sources,
as well as transcripts of terrorist trials and an FBI chronology of the
terrorists' movements, NOVA assembles a detailed picture of events leading up to the 9/11 attacks. .... Addressing the question, "Are we any safer now than we were before?,"
Bamford says, "We should have been safe the way it was. NSA had all the
information that it needed to stop the 9/11 hijackers. It had laws that
allowed it to track the hijackers." Bamford adds that those same laws
also protected the privacy of ordinary Americans in ways that have since
vanished." Note: the photograph above, from the KUED article, is the USA National Security Agency's UK listening post at Menwith Hill, England.
