MSNBC Special Documenting the Decade Long US Reaction to 9/11

Here is a link to an MSNBC special titles "Day of Destruction, Decade of War". The series explores the international terrorists threats facing the US and well as US financial involvement in the war against terror. The special is available in short clips online, if you are interested and have the time I would recommend watching the series, but even watching one or two of the clips if very interesting and informative. (I'm sorry, but I couldn't load the actual video)
