Frontline

Facts:
President Bush was prepared to spend whatever amount of money necessary after 9/11.
The Government was keeping secret certain procedures after 9/11.
The main goal immediately after 9/11 was to defeat Al-Qaeda and kill Bin Laden.
'Graystone' was the name of the plan to kill Bin Laden.
The CIA had more influence than the Military.
Bush authorized Black and the CIA to wage a war on Al-Qaeda.
It was the largest covert operation since the Cold War.
The CIA considers 'Graystone' it's finest hour.

Questions:
What does the phrase "after 9/11, the gloves come off" mean?
Why was the Government hiding what they were doing from United States citizens?
Did anger have too much of an influence in immediate decision making after the attacks?
Was President Bush too impulsive in enacting 'Graystone'?
Why were the combat operations performed by the CIA?
Was the military offended by the CIA's take over of the plans to attack Al-Qaeda.
Ultimately, was 'Graystone' effective?
Was Black too aggressive right off the bat?
