Al Qaeda Threat Memo
The January 2001 memo from former counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke to then national security adviser Condoleezza Rice warned Bush of Al Qaeda Threat - and she didn't even bother to meet with him until Sept. 4th!
"The strength of the network of organizations limits the scope of support friendly Arab regimes can give to a range of U.S. policies, including Iraq policy and the (Israeli-Palestinian) Peace Process. We would make a major error if we underestimated the challenge al Qaeda poses."
