4. He agrees with the findings of the 9/11 Commission

"a key question that the 9/11 commission considered, and what they found in the postmortem"

You understand the function of this phrase in the context above, yes?

They knew building 7 was wired with explosives because a landlord wanted to cash in on an insurance claim, and some government agencies wanted some files destroyed?

And if you are going to say it was LIHOP, then the conclusion is that our intelligence agencies were working just fine and in fact DID uncover the 9/11 plot, but they were intentionally ignored by the top of the executive branch. If that's what you believe, then you can't say the intelligence efforts weren't working properly.

But it appears from this segment that Mr. Snowden endorses the findings of the 9/11 Commission, that the system was blinking red, and was ignored.

If that is the case, the problem was not with the system.
