*Assistant Director, Central Intelligence Agency (1999) [http://fas.org/sgp/news/1999/02/ossconf.html]
== C.I.A. Inspector General's Report on 9/11 Intelligence Failures ==
The New York Times reports:
"<nowiki>[Former Director Central Intellengence George]</nowiki> Tenet's supporters say the inspector general report is seriously flawed because his investigators never talked to policy makers to get their views on the C.I.A.'s performance. Even some key people inside the agency were not interviewed, they say, including Charles E. Allen, whose title in 2001 was assistant director of central intelligence for collection."
"In 1998, after Al Qaeda's bombing of two American embassies in East Africa, it was Mr. Allen whom Mr. Tenet assigned to organize the agency's efforts against the terrorist network, according to testimony Mr. Tenet gave last year. He said that at the advice of Mr. Allen, he created a special unit with officers from the C.I.A., the eavesdropping National Security Agency and the satellite photo agency to meet daily and focus on Al Qaeda's leaders and headquarters in Afghanistan."
