Sept. 11 riddles remain

Citing a report from the DEA’s office of security, former corporate attorney Gerald Shea compiled a 53 page memorandum showing that Israel may have been spying on the DEA as well as the 9/11 hijackers throughout 2000, and 2001. The report was sent to members of Congress in 2004.
