August 6, 2001: Bush Administration Warned 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States'

April 8, 2004

Two and a half years after 9/11, the American public learned today that President Bush received explicit warnings that Osama bin Laden was planning to attack the United States – including activities "consistent with preparations for hijacking." Yet, there was no domestic follow-up by the Bush administration. No high level meetings. No sense of urgency. No warnings to FBI agents across the country.

*
We now know why the Bush administration has been hiding the Aug. 6, 2001, intelligence briefing for the president, called "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." All of the 9/11 Commission members – Republicans and Democrats – have asked the Bush administration to declassify this document. There are precedents for releasing presidential daily briefings and the American public deserves to know what President Bush knew and when.
*
We also learned that there appears to have been no response to explicit and repeated warnings about al Qaeda attacks. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice's claim that the FBI sent warnings to field offices was directly disputed by commissioners who said they had conducted thousands of interviews and reviewed thousands of documents. Their conclusion: no one at the FBI can recall such orders.
*
Today's hearing also confirmed evidence that the administration had done little or nothing to combat the terrorist threat between Jan. 20, 2001, and Sept. 10, 2001. Rice repeatedly used the claim that the administration was developing a "strategic approach" as an excuse for not acting. There was no response to the bombing of the USS Cole that claimed 17 American lives and the administration tried to cut counterterrorism funding

Demand the August 6th, Presidential Daily Briefing be declassified.



George W. Bush is the only person who can authorize to declassify, (exept for Dick Cheney, so you may as well write him too)

Write and Call to demand this PDB be declassified.


The people and the families of the victims deserve to know the truth about what he knew.





Dear President Bush,

I am greatly disappointed that you received a Presidential Daily Briefing entitled 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States'. This disturbs me, because that means that you knew some attacks were coming to the US and did nothing about it. At least that is what such a title of your briefing leads me to believe.

The 9/11 Commission has asked for you to release these documents so the public can see and possibly dispel any such idea that you could have known an attack was coming. If you don't release the documents in question, I have no other choice, but to believe that this PDB had information that Bin Laden was planning to attack our country, as the title suggests. This in my view, is a complete failure of your duty as President, to defend the people of the United States and I am very disappointed that you could have not reacted to such an immediate threat.

Such a failure, that cost the lives of more than 3,000 people deserves no less
than your resignation from office.

If the situation is otherwise and the PDB's content is somehow different than
the title suggests, please declassify it so the people can see for ourselves
