August 6, 2001, Presidential daily briefing entitled
"Bin Laden Determined to Strike inside US".
2006-06-26 03:28:48 · update #1
From the book: "The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America's Pursuit of Its Enemies Since 9/11":
The book's opening anecdote tells of an unnamed CIA briefer who flew to Bush's Texas ranch during the scary summer of 2001, amid a flurry of reports of a pending al-Qaeda attack, to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US." Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your ***, now."

"Something terrible is going to happen," and he just can't get anybody to focus on it. He said, "Tenet's been talking to the White House."
Then, by the end of July, he said, "It seems to have gone away." Then in early August, they did the PDB [President's Daily Brief] piece for the president on that. But there was a sense. I saw it in [Deputy Director of Operations James] Pavitt; I saw it in Tenet; I saw it in my friend -- [then-CTC Director] Cofer Black's a very close friend of mine. I saw it in all these guys, that they were desperately trying to get the people to focus on this. This was a real threat.
It wasn't that people were blasé about it. It's just that the new administration had a million different things, and this wasn't what they were -- it just didn't seem to be resonating.

Cause if he didn't ignore that August PDB then his rich defense contractor buddies and his rich oil subsidy buddies wouldn't be able to gouge the American Taxpayer through an extended illegal, unjustified, unnecessary war on Iraq, meanwhile the very man who's responsible for the attack is still FREE.

Everyone who wanted to knew that Bin Laden wanted to attack America and even the world trade center.
But maybe you were the only one who would have known that they were going to crash planes into things.

The US gets thousands of threats a day. They can't all be credible and you can't go around scaring people for every threat that comes in.
