on September 11, 2001 - a tragedy that had a profound impact on our Agency, the Nation, and the world. While much work still needs to be done on the counterterrorism front, CIA officers should be proud of the many, many contributions they have made since 2001. Indeed, the CIA now works more closely than ever with its domestic and foreign partners to thwart the plans of al-Qa'ida and other terrorist groups. And we will always hold dear the memory of those lost to terrorism on that day and in the years since."<br></i></p> <p align="right">—DCIA John O.
