Hillary Clinton warns the U.S. has let its guard down on terrorism 25 years after 9/11

The timing coincides with the anniversary of the attacks and an emerging public discussion about national security posture. The warning follows a series of reflections Clinton has offered on the lasting fallout of 9/11. The Sunday Guardian reported her remarks on first responders, the toxic air at Ground Zero and the long‑term health toll they continue to face.

East Wing Magazine described the situation as "the curtain rises again," while MS NOW noted the lessons she says she learned in the aftermath. Those pieces link the security warning to unresolved health and safety consequences from the original attack. Coverage diverges on the specifics of the alleged security lapse.

The Washington Times featured Clinton’s critique of former President Trump’s handling of COVID rather than detailed policy analysis, leaving the concrete measures she proposes unexplored. No outlet has supplied a roadmap for addressing the perceived guard‑down, and reporting does not yet clarify which agencies or strategies would be adjusted. The gap leaves the exact scope of her warning unanswered.
