Regarding the July 24, 2003, Final Declassified Report of the Joint Inquiry, which investigated the intelligence failures that led to 9/11:  “Although relevant information…regarding the [9/11] attacks was available to the Intelligence Community prior to September 11, 2001, the Community too often failed to focus on that information and consider and appreciate its collective significance.”
