A video i made on November 14, 2021. Eleanor Hill Staff Director of the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, gives an opening statement before the committee. Hill describes how "non-intelligence" agencies did not have intelligence reports or records concerning the suspects involved with the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks, or about previous reports warning them of arab terrorists training at US flight schools and previous FBI reports like the "Phoenix Memo" which warned of terrorists training at Arizona flight schools. According to officials in the FAA, the intelligence community were not shared pertinent data about security risks to airliners which should have been made available when the reports were known at the time. She also states that agencies like the FBI did not have the analytical capabilities, such as databases, which generate and store reports regarding the raw data collected by the counter-terrorism units. The problem of data sharing between agencies is also noted by Hill. This statement was given on October 10th 2002. I give some insights while the video is played.
