New Releases by National Commission on Terrorist Attacks

This eBook edition of "The 9/11 Commission Report" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were efforts to enhance border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after 19 hijackers demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and gaining admission into the United States, border security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security policy. We believe, for reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made one.

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission), an independent, bipartisan commission created by congressional legislation and the signature of President George W. Bush in late 2002, was chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks. The Commission was also mandated to provide recommendations designed to guard against future attacks. This is the full report of the commission, originally published in 2004. This is printed on 8.5 x 11 size paper.

Après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, une commission américaine a enquêté sur " les faits et les circonstances liés aux attaques terroristes ". Après dix-neuf mois de travail, elle a remis son rapport final le 22 juillet 2004. Deux millions et demi de documents pour la plupart classés " secret-défense " ont été consultés. Dans dix pays, mille deux cents personnes, dont les présidents Clinton, Bush et tous les responsables de l''administration américaine, ont été interrogées. Le rapport revient sur la chronologie précise des événements, les opérations de secours, la façon dont la journée du 11 septembre a été vécue à la Maison Blanche, et aussi par l''armée, l''administration et les services secrets. Il étudie la genèse des mouvements islamistes intégristes, présente la biographie des terroristes, analyse leurs sources de financement et leurs méthodes de combat. Il souligne également la vulnérabilité des Etats-Unis, la faiblesse de la protection des frontières et les failles du Renseignement. Enfin, il propose une réforme du système de sécurité américain et des relations des Etats-Unis avec le monde arabe. Ce rapport, terrifiant, se lit comme un récit d''espionnage. C''est un formidable outil d''analyse géopolitique. Une plongée dans les rouages et les coulisses du pouvoir des Etats-Unis. Un tableau du terrorisme d''aujourd''hui et de demain.
