Finding: While the Intelligence Community had amassed a great deal of valuable intelligence regarding Usama Bin Ladin and his terrorist activities, none of it identified the time, place, and specific nature of the attacks that were planned for September 11, 2001.
Prior to September 11, the Intelligence Community had information linking Khalid Shaykh Mohammed (KSM), now recognized by the Intelligence Community as the mastermind of the attacks, to Bin Ladin, to terrorist plans to use aircraft as weapons, and to terrorist activity in the United States.
It was not until after September 11, 2001 that the Intelligence Community determined that these contacts had been made by future hijacker Khalid al-Mihdhar while he was living within the domestic United States.

 Beyond September 11th: An Account of Post-disaster Research
In response to the September 11 attacks, state and local governments across the United States activated their emergency response plans and communication processes, in some cases revealing deficiencies in those preparations.
Although a number of unusual and unanticipated circumstances had to be dealt with during the course of responding to the September 11th disaster, in general the agencies, organizations, personnel, and procedures already in place proved to be workable and flexible enough to meet new and unexpected contingencies.
On September 11, 2001, each of these disaster response mechanisms was put to a new test, as were the emergency response capabilities of New York, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and the rest of the nation.

The September 11, 2001 attacks were a series of coordinated terrorist suicide attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001.

 ECHELON - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Before the September 11, 2001 attacks and the legislation which followed it, US intelligence agencies were generally prohibited from spying on people inside the US and other western countries' intelligence services generally faced similar restrictions within their own countries.
For example, in the months before the September 11 attacks on the United States, signal intelligence produced by ECHELON developed considerable "chatter", or snippets of dialogue, that suggested some sort of attack was imminent.
Reportedly created to monitor the military and diplomatic communications of the Soviet Union and its East Bloc allies during the Cold War in the early sixties, ECHELON is today believed to also search for hints of terrorist plots, drug-dealers' plans, and political and diplomatic intelligence.

Senior U.S. officials told CNN that the 6,000-word letter is believed to have been written within days of the July 7 terror attacks in London.

Diminished communication prompted the concern because the counterterror experts don't know why suspected terrorists would be talking less.

 Perplexing trail to key al Qaeda suspect / He continued plotting attacks, officials say
Mohammed's capture by CIA and Pakistani officers ended one of the most intense manhunts since Sept. 11, delivering the man believed to have the most detailed knowledge of the plot for those attacks and others during the last 18 months.
The closest "near miss," as intelligence officials referred to their unsuccessful efforts to catch Mohammed, occurred in September 2002, a few days after Al-Jazeera, the Arabic language television network, broadcast an interview with Mohammed and Binalshibh, another important figure in the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.
During interrogations with authorities, many al Qaeda detainees revealed being in communication with Mohammed.

Some members of the congressional committee investigating the intelligence failures and the September 11 attacks knew about the relationship between the landlord and the FBI, and the point will probably come up when the panel holds public hearings, expected later this month.
Yet it was not until August 23, 2001, that the CIA warned the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to watch for the two men, and that they might try to enter the United States.
The FBI contends the agency was never told about the two men before August 23 and says it can find no record of any such communication between CIA and FBI to show the information might have been overlooked.

 NIGERIAN PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO CALLS FOR REINFORCED NORTH-SOUTH CO-OPERATION
October 15 (No.2001-104) - “UNESCO’s agenda has suddenly become part of the agenda of the highest political order in the world,” President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria declared, referring to the attacks of September 11 in the United States, as he addressed UNESCO’s General Conference in Paris this morning.
President Obasanjo highlighted the importance of UNESCO’s work in bridging the digital divide between developed and developing countries and cautioned that “if there is no effective action to arrest and close the gaping ICT [information and communication technologies] chasm that now separates the industrialized world from most developing countries, we will all be courting disaster.
President Obasanjo pointed out that: “UNESCO has an important role to play […] to emphasize the crucial significance of education and cultural dimensions, and to equally highlight the significance of introducing scientific and communication dimensions in successful poverty reduction policies.

The SAFE Act would limit the government's ability to wiretap and search, and declares libraries can't be treated as "wire or electronic communication service providers" for government agencies seeking intelligence on electronic communication habits of patrons.
This strong rhetoric brought applause from Republicans in the audience, but the Patriot Act and efforts to expand or extend it haven't always been greeted with approval.

Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States for which bin Laden claimed responsibility, two videotapes released of the Al Qaeda leader showed him in the company of Al-Zawahiri.
Al-Zawahiri's letter also acknowledged that al Qaeda had lost key leaders; that its members had, to a large degree, resigned themselves to defeat in Afghanistan; and that their lines of communication and sources of funding had been severely disrupted.
In this correspondence (which was obtained by American forces in Iraq during the summer of 2005), Al Zawahiri spelled out his views on how the battle against the U.S. should be prosecuted.
