On TV: Don't miss Inside 9/11, premiering on the National Geographic Channel (U.S.), Sunday, August 21, 9 p.m. ET/PT, and Monday, August 22, 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Terrorists would not have much more difficulty attacking the U.S. today than they did before September 11, 2001, says a former senior analyst of the Central Intelligence Agency.

'The reason it's going to occur is because we've done nothing about our borders,' said Michael Scheuer, former head of the CIA's Osama bin Laden unit. Scheuer also authored, anonymously, a controversial analysis of the war on terror entitled Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror.

Scheuer is one of several experts who contributed to Inside 9/11, a documentary that airs on the National Geographic Channel. The documentary uses declassified documents and scores of interviews to piece together how terrorists succeeded in catching the U.S. intelligence apparatus off guard."
