> It says nothing about the CIA covering up an involvement in 9/11

The title doesn’t say that the CIA was involved in 9/11.

No, not literally. But a "9/11 coverup" suggests a coverup about the substance of the events on 9/11, rather than a coverup about the extent or manner of intelligence operations that preceded it. Calling it a "pre-9/11 intelligence gathering coverup" would be more helpful.

But it's implied. Should be rewritten to '9/11 mishandling coverup' or some other noun to negate the click bait.

but lets not pretend that's not on peoples minds when they read the title. it seems like it ought to be going out of its way to avoid that implication.

I did not interpret the headline that way. I’m not sure why someone would jump straight to that aside from the “Bush did 9/11” memes that get circulated every now and then.
