Seven years later, experts still see flaws in nation?s security

Marine Corps Lt. Col. Riccoh Player was at the Pentagon on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. But on this Sept. 11, when a new memorial is unveiled there commemorating the attacks of seven years ago, he said he won’t be in attendance.

Player is now an instructor at the Defense Information School, the military’s journalism and communications school, based at Fort Meade. He recalls that morning seven years ago as “controlled chaos.”
