Reporters Remember: Act of War
Season 2011
About the Episode
The attacks of September 11 killed nearly 3,000 innocent people and resulted in the U.S. "war on terror." Subsequently, the Bush administration invaded Afghanistan to capture bin Laden, but soon after decided to take military action against Iraq. Washington Week reporters reflect on the politics and policy that launched the two wars that have defined the past decade.
