Product Description

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission, was set up on November 27, 2002 "to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 attacks", including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks. The commission was also mandated to provide recommendations designed to guard against future attacks. Chaired by former New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean, the commission consisted of five Democrats and five Republicans. The commission was created by Congressional legislation, with the bill signed into law by President George W. Bush. The commission's final report was lengthy and based on extensive interviews and testimony. Its primary conclusion was that the failures of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation permitted the terrorist attacks to occur and that had these agencies acted more wisely and more aggressively, the attacks could potentially have been prevented. After the publication of its final report, the commission closed on August 21, 2004. The commission was the last investigation by the federal government into the events of 9/11, with the exception of the NIST report on the collapse of Building 7.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad digital transfer, September 26, 2009

By	Paul Hand - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I downloaded this without looking at the sample (well - it was 99c) but this is a poor transfer with a lot of formatting errors and before the end of the first chapter I had deleted it and downloaded the New York Times version which is much better...

1.0 out of 5 stars Yep. REALLY bad formatting. Unreadable., October 13, 2009

By	Akash (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

The formatting of this document is UNREADABLE. A much better alternative is to simply download the pdf (freely available on the web) and transfer it to your Kindle. I don't understand how they get away with charging for a free report anyway.
