Hello and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.
I'm your host, Jason Palmer.
Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.

Our correspondent says that's apparent in the details of a sexual harassment scandal that'll be litigated in a parliamentary hearing today.

Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic Magazine.

in which everybody who's anybody in America's security establishment was plotting out the attacks.
