ECO-TERROR
Finalmente, sete meses depois da sua conclusão, o esperado REPORT OF THE JOINT INQUIRY INTO THE TERRORIST ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 (858 page document in a large 6.5 MB PDF file)
Segundo o Project on Government Secrecy (FAS), "A declassified version of the congressional joint inquiry report on the September 11 terrorist attacks was released this afternoon following an arduous seven-month declassification process. [...]
Of particular interest [...] may be the final Appendix on "Access Limitations Encountered by the Joint Inquiry."
It describes a number of documents or topical areas to which congressional investigators were denied access. These included the President's Daily Brief, reports on foreign liaison relationships, information on intelligence budget requests, and more. On other crucial topics, congressional access was limited or delayed. This Appendix appears at pages 834-858 of the report.
Another item of special interest is a newly released General Accounting Office (GAO) analysis of the October 2001 anthrax attacks. The December 2002 GAO assessment had been restricted as "Limited Official Use Only." It is now published at pages
808-822 of the report."
