By the time a CIA briefer gave President Bush the Aug. 6, 2001, President's Daily Brief headlined "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US," the president had seen a stream of alarming reports on al Qaeda's intentions. So had Vice President Cheney and Bush's top national security team, according to newly declassified information released yesterday by the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.



In April and May 2001, for example, the intelligence community headlined some of those reports "Bin Laden planning multiple operations," "Bin Laden network's plans advancing" and "Bin Laden threats are real."

The intelligence included reports of a hostage plot against Americans. It noted that operatives might choose to hijack an aircraft or storm a U.S. embassy. Without knowing when, where or how the terrorists would strike, the CIA "consistently described the upcoming attacks as occurring on a catastrophic level, indicating that they would cause the world to be in turmoil," according to one of two staff reports released by the panel yesterday

1. The criminals were quietly deceiving the public again....

John A$$crap was playing dummy at the hearings...no I've never received a copy of the Aug 6 memo. Not until Jamie Gorelick questioned and made him admit that he had been briefedin August, through a different memo containing exactly the same information.

They wanted the public to believe that they did not know about the binLanden urgent plans of attacking this nation. Bush was playing the dummy too, hoping that somehow the commission would blame Tenent or Clinton. They are a bunch of bastards.

5. Clinton Bucks

:(.. Everything is his fault, you know..

I really wish that he would break his silence soon, and just tell it like it is.. The plots that were foiled surely need not be classified, after the stuff that HAS come out.. He needs to start talking about how they had meetings every day, and how their administration prevented attacks.. It's hard to prove something that did NOT happen...

Bush's failure is right out there for everyone to see, and he does not want to accept ANY responsibility..

they keep calling the August 6 PDB "Historical". They had a history of getting and ignoring them before.
