Alarmed by repeated warnings from top FBI and military officials, a former acting CIA director and a legendary foreign policy thinker write bluntly in Foreign Affairs:
“The United States faces a serious threat of a terrorist attack in the months ahead.”
Why it matters: Michael Morell and Graham Allison write that there are striking echoes of the run-up to 9/11 — including warnings about Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda by then-CIA director George Tenet.
- Now, similar warnings are popping up from FBI director Chris Wray and Army Gen. Erik Kurilla — the commander of CENTCOM, which includes the Middle East.
Between the lines: Repeated warnings of this sort from national security officials and experts in the two decades since 9/11 have not come to fruition.
- Over that time, terrorism has faded as a national fixation.
