Tonight on America Under Attack, how could it happen?

Who did it?

How did they do it?

And why?

What's reporting tonight from Washington?

And there is a widespread belief that yesterday's attack succeeded because of major security

and intelligence failures joining us now.

The former CIA director Jim Wolsey, director Wolsey, a lot of people say that the signature

of a sum of been a lot is all over these attacks.

Are you ready to draw that conclusion?

It may be all over these attacks and I think that might make us a bit suspicious that something

else may be up.

Certainly Ben Laden may well have been deeply involved and may have been the operational figure

and his people in this, but that doesn't mean that he acted alone.

I begin to think that maybe we're supposed to focus solely on Ben Laden and there might be

something else in train.

My suspicion, it's no more than that at this point, is that there could be some government

action involved together with Ben Laden or a major terrorist group and one strong suspect

there I think would be the government of Iraq.
