Without precedent: the inside story of the 9/11 Commission

Kean: September 11, 2001

Hamilton: September 11, 2001

Set up to fail: approaching an impossible task

A start-up: setting up on a shoestring

Cooperate or confront? : what to ask for and how to get it

Finding the facts: negotiations, subpoenas, and more negotiations

Getting the story: from field officers to cabinet offices, distant lands to detainees

Finding a voice: public hearings and time pressure

The perfect storm: a book, a charge, and an apology

A remarkable day: Condoleezza Rice in public, Bill Clinton in private

Becoming a target: the Commission comes together

The trauma of New York: treading delicately in a wounded city

The enemy: Al Quaeda, the 9/11 plot, and the question of Iraq

The story in the sky: conspiracy theories and correcting a record

Many voices: drafting a report, debating recommendations

Unanimous: rolling out a report

Looking back to look forward
