In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Americans are asking why the country's intelligence agencies failed to prevent the devastating attack. Reports indicate that even though the CIA and FBI had been warned about one of the bombing suspects, he still managed to elude America's security net. Have the hundreds of billions of dollars spent since September 11 on counterterrorism efforts made Americans any safer? Journalist Dana Priest traces the journey from 9/11 to the present and investigates the secret history of the battle against terrorism. (From the US) (Documentary) PG CC
