"How often does that happen?"
Woodward today expanded on the unheeded warning to Rice two months before 911:

The first reaction was "Oh no, there was no such meeting." . . . "Could have happened."

And then they said "Oh yeah, there was a meeting." They have affirmed that Tenet and Cofer Black, who was the chief of counter-terrorism for the CIA. Now this is two month's before 911. Got in the car at CIA headquarters, started racing toward the White House, Tenet calls from the car and says I have to see you right away. -- How many times does that happen? -- They then present this information and as now they've revealed, which I did not know, that Rice then asked Tenet, in fact ordered him, to give the briefing to Don Rumsfeld and John Ashcroft, who was then Attorney General.

I know of no other incident where she requested or ordered a briefing be given to those two officials.


As Pirate Smile posted on Monday, http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=2541635">Rumsfeld, Ashcroft received warning of al Qaida attack before 9/11, Ashcroft took immediate action.

He stopped flying commercial airlines himself. . . http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=2541635">link
