AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The FBI’s principal automated system to track terrorist threats and suspicious incidents is its Guardian Threat Tracking System (Guardian). responsibility for follow up on counterterrorism threats and suspicious incidents. It also records the outcome of the FBI’s handling of terrorist threats and suspicious incidents.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to the Commission, pre 9/11 intelligence failures were, largely, failures of analysis and information-sharing. These failures were not the result of legal restrictions that are designed to protect civil liberties, but instead resulted from a culture and bureaucracy that horded information.

Detailed explanation-3: -9/11 resulted from the confluence of multiple factors. Islamic extremism was stirred by the Iranian Revolution, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the assassination of the Egyptian president. That extremism turned anti-American because of U.S. support for Israel and repressive and secular Arab regimes.

Detailed explanation-4: -How did the September 11 attacks transform Americans’ understanding of their security? How did the response compare with that after Pearl Harbor? Both of these instances showed us that our security and military were not as prepared as they should be: 9/11 showed us that our security was not as good as it seemed.
