The American drama "Murder of the Giant Tower" (I prefer another translation: Tower Shadow Mirage) tells the cause and effect of the 9/11 terrorist attack in more detail, and it is a good American drama. The play deduces the long-standing discord between the CIA and the FBI, that is, the CIA and the FBI, as well as the contradictory details and the disastrous consequences. After the number of people read it, no one reported the intelligence to the FBI. · The former head and successor head of Alec Station, the CIA's Middle East outpost, is a bit like the relationship between a tutor and a female student. The tutor is knowledgeable and talented, and the female student is respectful. Even after the tutor was dismissed, the female student still obeyed only the tutor's order and insisted on it. No intelligence is shared with the FBI. When I watched the show, I thought it was unbelievable. How can the elites cultivated by such a developed civilization in the United States pay attention to "according to teachers" like the Chinese? . The biggest inspiration of this show is that it may not be difficult for technology to be ahead of the times , but it is not easy to keep up with the times. The obvious demonstration in the play is the inefficiency and malfeasance of the bureaucracy in dealing with terrorism in the pre-911 era, but the underlying reason is the backward concept. In the play, a grass-roots FBI agent Su Fan is portrayed. He is a Lebanese-American and a Muslim himself, so he understands Islam and the religious beliefs and expression habits of terrorists. To keep up with the times, the first thing is to understand the times. Su Fan and the FBI advocated that terrorists should be brought to justice, not to be eliminated by force like the CIA. Therefore, the CIA felt that the FBI’s anti-terrorism practice of catching shrimp, soldiers and crabs all over the world can solve the symptoms but not the root cause. On the contrary, it will interfere with the big game of finding and removing bin Laden, which can disintegrate al Qaeda in one fell swoop. As everyone knows, this game has fallen behind. As Su Fan said, the terrorist organization is not one bin Laden, but hundreds of bin Ladens. Later, ISIS, which was a hundred times more brutal than Al Qaeda, confirmed Su Fan's opinion. In the play, Rice, who was the US Secretary of State at the time, also reflected the backwardness of this concept. For example, she was impatient with the analysis of the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, and only wanted to know the specific names of terrorists who could attack the United States immediately. The subordinate looked helpless. After 9/11, at an emergency meeting, she said that the defense minister was planning to put the blame on Iraq and Saddam. The intelligence officer asked her again with a bewildered expression: What did you say? . As the saying goes, the most painful thing in the workplace is the layman leading the expert. Unexpectedly, the White House is the same. The backwardness of the concept sometimes also stems from conceit and the loss of patience to understand this era. At the 9/11 hearing in 2004, when the investigator asked Rice to remember the title of a briefing that was not submitted to the president on August 16, 2001, Rice said he remembered that the title was bin Laden's potential terror against the United States. attack. Everyone was shocked. . Last week, Habermas, 89, said in an exclusive interview with El Pais on the eve of his birthday that, in fact, religious fundamentalism is a product of modernity, born out of colonialism, the end of colonialism and the global economy. in the social foundations of capitalism.
