The Senate and U.S. House of Representatives plan to pass a bipartisan resolution condemning the terrorist strikes and promising retaliation. Lawmakers also ripped into the Central Intelligence Agency and the FBI for failing to prevent the attacks. They said efforts must be improved to detect such pending operations before they’re carried out. Senator Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, said, “War has been declared against the United States,” and said, “We ought to act accordingly.”
