John Duffy - The Watch Dogs Didn’t Bark Jun 22, 2022 Ed is joined by John Duffy, who together with Ray Nowosielski has produced a simultaneously fascinating and terrifying book ‘The Watchdogs Didn't Bark: The CIA, NSA, and the Crimes of the War on Terror’. Over a ten year research period, they have uncovered actions and inactions which contributed to the events before, during and subsequent to the atrocities of September 11, 2001. The failures of the services to act on information, the coercion of witnesses and the knee jerk reaction which seemed remarkably prepared for the response are discussed in an interview which is not only informative, it is truly a catalogue of circumstance, action and disaster. 9/11 generates, rightly, a strong sense of emotion in most people, but that sense is open to manipulation by shadowy figures with malevolent intent. Review: The Watchdogs Didn't Bark takes a fact-based, character-driven approach to telling the shocking, previously unrevealed story of the NSA's failure to protect America on 9/11. Citing new insider testimony, the book explores how and why the world's most powerful and least understood intelligence agency failed to stay true to its most basic objective: protect the homeland from a Pearl Harbor style attack.
