9/11 Commission Report (free download)

The Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States is now available for your personal inspection.

Under pressure from the families of victims of the September 11th attacks, the Commission was created by Public Law 107-306 on November 27, 2002. Working with a budget of $15 million, the 80-plus-member Commission completed the most comprehensive independent government investigation in US history.

They interviewed more than 1,200 people in ten different countries and reviewed more than 2.5 million documents. The Commission held 19 days of public hearings, during which they heard from more than 160 witnesses and released 17 staff statements. The final report includes a recounting of the intelligence failures which led to the success of the unprecedented attacks, as well as the Commission's 37 recommendations to help prevent future terrorism.
