Abstract

Martin Amis first wrote about September 11 a week later in a piece for "The Guardian" beginning, 'It was the advent of the second plane, sharking in low over the Statue of Liberty: that was the defining moment.' And he has kept returning to September 11, in essays and reviews, and in two remarkable short stories, 'In the Place of the End' and 'The Last Days of Muhammad Atta'. All are collected here, together with an expanded account of his travels with Tony Blair in 2007 - to Belfast, to Washington, and to Baghdad and Basra. 'We are arriving at an axiom in long-term thinking about international terrorism,' he writes: 'the real danger lies, not in what it inflicts, but in what it provokes. Thus by far the gravest consequence of September 11, to date, is Iraq ...Meanwhile, September 11 continues, it goes on, with all its mystery, its instability, and its terrible dynamism.'

Abstract

Following the World Trade Center (WTC) attack, the Congress appropriated more than $8 billion to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency for response and recovery activities. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) received some of this funding to establish health screening and monitoring programs for responders to the disaster and later received additional appropriations to fund treatment. In total, about $369.2 million has been appropriated or awarded for the WTC health programs. GAO previously reported on problems that these programs have had in ensuring the availability of services for all responders. GAO was asked to examine lessons from the WTC health programs that could guide future programs. GAO examined (1) lessons from the programs' experience and (2) HHS actions or plans that incorporate the lessons. GAO interviewed WTC health program officials and other experts and reviewed DHS and HHS documents.

Abstract

Les Etats-Unis pouvaient-ils admettre que l'instigateur du 11 septembre 2001 était le fils du meilleur ami du roi d'Arabie Saoudite, leur allié et principal pourvoyeur de pétrole ? Alors, ils ont fabriqué le mythe d'un génie du mal, et tentent de faire croire qu'ils le traquent depuis sept ans. Mais veulent-ils le trouver et y ont-ils intérêt ? Manipulations de l'opinion, enjeux géostratégiques, ou encore profits économiques ? Les hypothèses sont légion. Le vrai Oussama Ben Laden n'a rien d'un grand stratège, d'un brillant idéologue ni même d'un chef de guerre. Dès le début des années 1990, on aurait pu l'arrêter ou simplement neutraliser cet illuminé millionnaire, qui ânonne les tirades de penseurs extrémistes qui l'ont toujours utilisé. Du Yémen au Soudan, en passant par le Pakistan, le Tadjikistan et le Liban, j'ai retrouvé ceux qui ont côtoyé ou combattu Ben Laden : parents, complices, adversaires, journalistes, membres des services secrets. tous ceux qui m'ont permis d'explorer les arcanes d'un mythe qui fascine le monde entier.
