we only have the redacted version so perhaps some specifics were taken out to protect Bush. Having said that, I think the PDB was more specific than I thought it would be....especially the last 4 sentences....this should have raised a red flag and the government should have gone to "battle stations" so that they could "shake the trees" as Clarke said in his book and testimony. Also, remember, Bush was getting briefed for months about al Qaeda threats. The PDB was not the only intelligence report dealing with al Qaeda...it was only a small part of it all.
