- ***“Inside the Terror Network.”
- Program Description: “FRONTLINE correspondent Hedrick Smith uncovers the personal histories of the terrorist leaders and traces their movements and plotting in the days, months, and years leading up to Sept. 11. This report tracks how the hijackers achieved surprise not only by their cunning exploitation of America’s open society but also by the failure of intelligence and law enforcement agencies to spot warning signs. Having interviewed top intelligence authorities, Smith reports, “Our side suffered from a failure of imagination. The experts at the CIA, FBI, and INS thought our homeland was safe. They simply did not imagine that foreign terrorists could mount such an attack at long distance and over a long period of time.”
