Could the U.S. Have Prevented 9/11 Fifteen Years Ago? A New Book Says Yes
Before September 11, Peter Lance was an ABC journalist turned fiction writer. Since then, he's been obsessively ferreting out evidence that New York's FBI office and the much-vaunted Joint Terrorism Task Force suppressed evidence that could have prevented 9/11 fifteen years ago — culminating in his new book, Triple Cross. Just don't call it a conspiracy. He talked to New York. You call 9/11 a "cold case." Why? Bin Laden did it! Bin Laden himself has never been indicted for 9/11. Moussaoui was a peripheral player. Khalid Sheik Mohammed is untriable. In bringing someone to justice for mass murder, the trial would expose the failures of the U.S. intelligence agencies in a way that the 9/11 Commission failed to do.
