9/11: Looking Back and Ahead with Lee Hamilton

The Takeaway

Listen
All week long, we’ve been talking about the tenth anniversary of 9/11. We’ve spoken with young people, experts, soldiers, and you, our listeners. Today, we’re focusing on the 9/11 commission, and what we’ve done to improve homeland security since the attacks. Lee Hamilton, the Vice Chair of the 9/11 Commission, helped prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11 attacks.  Hamilton is also a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and a current member of the U.S. Homeland Security Advisory council.
