520 1 $a"The recent resignation of CIA boss George Tenet has only highlighted what is, for many, the greatest political scandal of a generation: the failure of the U.S. intelligence community to combat the threat posed by Islamic extremists and prevent the 9/11 attacks." "Peeling back the layers of secrecy, Melissa Boyle Mahle tells it straight, the good with the bad, in the hope the United States is not destined to repeat the mistakes of yesterday out of mere ignorance, denial, or deception. As the intelligence community retools for the challenges of the new millennium - particularly threats posed by terrorists and weapons of mass destruction - policymakers should pay heed to the strengths and weaknesses of the CIA. The consequences of getting it wrong, as America witnessed, are devastating."--BOOK JACKET.
