Panel Says Bush Saw Repeated Warnings

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A9642-2004Apr13.html

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.

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.

The two top members of the 9/11 commission said on cable tonight that this commission is really focusing on post 9/11 and is basically trying to figure out how to prevent another 9/11 in the future.

There's no drip drip. There never was.
