The Cover-up Commission

Introduction

In the wake of 9/11, the administration immediately sought to use the attacks for political gain. George W. Bush and his administration leveraged the tragedy to launch a global war on terror while systematically ignoring questions about intelligence failures and forewarnings.

The formation of the 9/11 Commission—presented to the public as an independent investigation—was, in reality, an elaborate cover-up. Firsthand accounts from 9/11 widows, congressional investigators, and insiders make clear how the official story of 9/11 was controlled, pre-scripted, and filtered. Because of the 9/11 Commission, the public never received a full accounting of what happened leading up to and on 9/11, and key questions about intelligence failures, political agendas, and foreign policy remain unanswered. Part two of our series, The 9/11 Files: The Cover-up Commission, outlines it all.
