Lawmakers ask CIA for 9-11 failures report

? The leaders of the House Intelligence Committee want CIA Director Porter Goss to provide a public version of his agency’s hard-hitting report on the failures leading up to Sept. 11, 2001.

In a letter made public Friday, Intelligence Chairman Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich., and the panel’s top Democrat, California Rep. Jane Harman, asked Goss to reveal as much of the report from his inspector general as possible.

“We believe the public has a right to know if people should be held accountable for those failures as a result of gross negligence or misconduct,” Hoekstra and Harman wrote on Sept. 6. “More importantly, the public also should know what steps should be taken in the future for the CIA to address the findings of the report.”

Spanning hundreds of pages, the report calls for disciplinary reviews for former CIA Director George Tenet and current and former officials who were involved in faulty intelligence efforts before the attacks.

The report was sent to Congress last month.

Senate Intelligence Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan., also has also sent a letter to Goss requesting the report’s declassification.
