This Sunday, September 11th will mark the four year anniversary of the terrorist attacks that killed over 3,000 individuals. Using commercial airplanes as weapons, thousands of innocent men, women and children were massacred by terrorists who sought not only to kill Americans, but to also kill our spirit and determination. They didn’t succeed.

Four years later, we remain engaged in the Global War on Terror as we resolutely pursue the terrorists wherever they are. Our efforts have been met with success as al Qaeda’s ability to launch global terror attacks has been severely diminished.

In Afghanistan, for example, Operation Enduring Freedom has removed the Taliban that ruled the Afghan people with brutality. Next week, in fact, Afghan citizens will vote in parliamentary elections, where turnout is expected to exceed the nearly 8 million citizens who voted in the earlier presidential election. That number represents 80 percent of registered voters, a percentage that isn’t matched in our own elections.


As we reflect on September 11, 2001, our hearts and prayers go out to all those who suffered loss, who lost family members and loved ones. Their absence continues to be felt – not just on anniversaries but daily. We also express gratitude to the many heroes who selflessly gave their lives to preserve others. As our men and women in uniform confront terrorism on all corners of the globe, we are grateful that their sacrifices have helped secure the freedoms we cherish and bring freedom to those who have been shackled by despots and oppressive regimes.

We will never forget 9-11. And as we fight in this Global War on Terror, we pray for God’s continued blessings on our country.

On 9/11, CIA Was Running Simulation of a Plane Crashing into a Building
Fulton's entire passage from the promotional literature
John Fulton - Intelligence Networking & Analysis
On the morning of September 11th 2001, Mr. Fulton and his team at the CIA were running a pre-planned simulation to explore the emergency response issues that would be created if a plane were to strike a building. Little did they know that the scenario would come true in a dramatic way that day. Information is the most powerful tool available in the homeland security effort. At the core of every initiative currently underway to protect our country and its citizens is the challenge of getting the right information to the right people at the right time. How can so much information from around the world be captured and processed in meaningful and timely ways? Mr. Fulton shares his insights into the intelligence community, and shares a vision of how today's information systems will be developed into even better counter-terrorism tools of tomorrow.
