"January through September, 2001 - FAA issues 15 separate memos to the aviation industry warning of possible imminent hijackings of airliners inside the United States. Two of the warnings are directly linked to Osama Bin Laden as a suspect. Bush is informed of these warnings.
June 28, 2001 - CIA Director, George Tenet, warns National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice in a written report that it is highly likely that a significant al-Queda terrorist attack will take place in the near future in the U.S. Was Bush informed of this...seems everyone at the White House has amnesia about this. However, please remember this for later when Rice issues a statement on May 16th, 2002, 9 months after the 911 attack.
July 5, 2001 - In a White House security meeting, counterterroism officials warn the FBI, FAA, INS and others that a major attack on the United States is coming soon. Again, amnesia sinks in at the Bush White House.
June 26, 2001 - CIA espionage sources report a spike in intelligence traffic concerning possible attacks around July 4th. Bush is informed.
July 2, 2001 - FBI warns law-enforcement agencies of the possible al-Queda attacks overseas. Says domestic strikes cannot be ruled out. Bush is informed.
July 1, 2001 - Diane Feinstein, member of the Senate Intelligence Committee issues a press statement. "Intelligence staff tell me that there is a major probability of a terrorist incident within the next three months." Senator Feinstein pleads with the White House and Congress to put more money and resources into intelligence and counter terrorism measures to protect citizens. Her pleas are ignored.
July 5, 2001 - CIA tells Bush again that despite a non eventful July 4th, attacks during the summer are still possible. Bush is supposedly informed.
July 5, 2001 - Bush instructs Condoleezza Rice to find out what agencies are doing with al-Queda threat information. If she did...why isn't the information not getting to her or not being taken seriously? I believe some very pointed questions need to be asked by the Senate Inntelligence Committe to Ms. Rice."
