How Sept. 11 reshaped national security
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of Sept. 11 on national security and intelligence agencies in the U.S.
It’s been 25 years since al-Qaida attacked the United States by hijacking airplanes and crashing them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, with a fourth plane crashing into a field in Pennsylvania. Sept. 11 represented a new kind of national security threat, and a new national security architecture was created to confront it. Before a live audience at NPR, host Mary Louise Kelly discussed how that day changed the country and its spy agencies , with people who worked on the frontlines of government and intelligence.
