Here's a copy of the August 6 PDB in Acrobat format.
I just read it. It mentions hijacking planes. It mentions Washington, DC and New York. It mentions al Qaeda. The only thing it doesn't mention is the goddam date.
Hey, you're right, Condi. No one could have ever forseen a terror attack with so little information. Sheesh.
Oh, and here's the White House 'explainer.' See what every Republican on TV for the next three days will say before they say it!

yeh, thats pretty damning. ill bet alot of people are still being held incommunicado in gitmo on a lot less evidence than that... of course none of them are rich white men... they still qualify for jurisprudence (if charges are ever filed). i dont care, i still think the bush administration (not necessarily bush) not only knew about 9/11, and let it happen, but probobly had a hand in planning it as well... i really dont think that bush planned it, hell, i dont think bush could plan an easter picknick without laura's help. the question is, which one of them did?

Alright, read the Q & A from the white house link...read it a second time...
I would like to gather everyones attention to the answer of the 5th question...
The CIA author of the PDB item judged, after consulting an FBI colleague, that there were suspicious patterns of activity that were worrisome
When a CIA agent consults with a FBI agent, is that considered "structural problems" within the US Government that Condi was talking about Thursday?

It is easy enough to look back before 9/11, cherrypick the data and believe that the terrorist attack on NY and DC was forseeable.
Why don't you try predicting the future? It is much more difficult.
Here are today's headlines: one of the most unstable Islamic states in the Middle East is close to a military coop. It has nuclear weapons, and hundreds of fanatical Islamic nutjobs in its military who share all kinds of information and weaponry with Al Qaeda. Its top nuclear scientists admit selling nuclear technology, equipment and advice around the world, including some to a regime that now considers itself at war with the US.
Is a nuclear attack on the US forseeable? If so, how is it going to come? How can we prevent it?
