I'd start with the Senate report, but if its too long for you, I included some news stories that are much shorter.

As one source put it, Rumsfeld's assertion that it was "just a few bad apples" seems to be correct, although he is one of them.
Do you think any of this would have happened absent an unprecedented attack on US soil? How do we prevent another attack? Be nice and play by the rules with people who are trained from early childhood to hate our very existence? Would you want that responsibility on your head? Lets be realistic. The government was caught between a rock and a hard place with the lack of a real military target in response to 9/11. If it happens again, expect similar results as those in charge grapple to adjust to, and deal with, a stateless enemy that seemingly doesn't care about life or death.
