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.
