Plot

Bill Moyers hosts this special episode co-produced by Frontline and the New York Times, examining the forces behind the most deadly terrorist attack in our history, the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and looking for answers to some difficult questions: Why did the CIA and FBI fail to uncover the hijackers' plot to attack the U.S. government and economy? Why does hatred for America run so deep among Muslim fundamentalists, and how has the U.S. government's support for Israel and authoritarian rule in the oil-rich Middle East helped develop the roots of this hatred?
