Peter Dale Scott, whose previous books have investigated CIA involvement in southeast Asia, the drug wars, and the Kennedy assassination, here probes how the policies of presidents since Nixon have augmented the tangled bases for the 2001 terrorist attack. Scott shows how America's expansion into the world since World War II has led to momentous secret decision making at high levels. He demonstrates how these decisions by small cliques are responsive to the agendas of private wealth at the expense of the public, of the democratic state, and of civil society. He shows how, in implementing these agendas, U.S. intelligence agencies have become involved with terrorist groups they once backed and helped create, including al Qaeda. 517 3 $aRoad to nine eleven 606 $aTransparency in government$zUnited States 606 $aPrivacy, Right of$zUnited States 606 $aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009$xPolitical aspects 606 $aSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001$xPolitical aspects 606 $aDemocracy$zUnited States 606 $aElite (Social sciences)$zUnited States 606 $aNational security$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical corruption$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1989- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTransparency in government 615 0$aPrivacy, Right of 615 0$aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aElite (Social sciences) 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aPolitical corruption$xHistory 676 $a973.931 700 $aScott$b Peter Dale$01047067 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455291203321 996 $aThe road to 9$92492771 997 $aUNINA
