A Meet the Author Event @ the World Affairs Council, 12/13 December 13, 2007

Who: Amy B. Zegart, Associate Professor of Public Policy, University of California, Los Angeles
Event: In Spying Blind: The CIA, the FBI, and the Origins of 9/11, Amy Zegart argues that many of the failures of the intelligence community in the months leading up to 9/11 can be attributed to an aging organizational structure that had not been updated or modified to deal with contemporary threats like global terrorism. Six years later, Zegart argues that all of the nation’s worst intelligence deficiencies remain and with the recent passing of the 60th anniversary of the CIA, the time is ripe for a reconsideration of the organizational weaknesses that have afflicted American intelligence agencies for decades and continue to stand in the way of reform.
