CIA Director Forgets Its Utter Failure of 9/11
And no punishment for those responsible, from top to bottom of the three
branches, but amply rewarded by budget increases to rationalize, start and
sustain bloody wars, even now 12 years still lying in their teeth about national
security, absurdly in character bruiting a tattered flag given to George
Tenet, Medal of Freedom CIA-pinata for exculpating the three branches.

Excerpt from the Director's Message to the Workforce: Remembering 11 September
2001
September 11, 2013
Colleagues:
Today we mark twelve years since the terrible attacks that shook our Homeland
on September 11, 2001—a tragedy that had a profound impact on our Agency,
the Nation, and the world. While much work still needs to be done on the
counterterrorism front, CIA officers should be proud of the many, many
contributions they have made since 2001. Indeed, the CIA now works more closely
than ever with its domestic and foreign partners to thwart the plans of
al-Qa‘ida and other terrorist groups. And we will always hold dear the
memory of those lost to terrorism on that day and in the years since.
To commemorate the occasion, we have put on display an American flag retrieved
from the rubble of Ground Zero. The flag was restored and has graced the
CIA Director's office for more than a decade. George Tenet, to whom the flag
was originally presented, had recommended that it eventually be put in a
more central location so it could serve as an inspiration to the entire
workforce. The flag is now directly across from the image of Lady Liberty,
on the opposite end of our Upper Lobby. The two symbols make clear to the
world the resilience and perseverance of our people, our unwavering support
of freedom, and our embrace of those who share our values.
John O. Brennan
