MSNBC and NBC News Updated: 10:19 p.m. ET April 09, 2004WASHINGTON - President Bush’s August 2001 briefing on terrorism threats, which national security adviser Condoleezza Rice dismissed this week as an unspecific historical document, included information from three months earlier that the al-Qaida terror network was trying to send operatives into the United States for an explosives attack, according to several people who have seen the memo. The so-called presidential daily briefing, or PDB, delivered to Bush on Aug. 6, 2001 — a month before the Sept. 11 attacks — said there were various reports that Osama bin Laden had wanted to strike inside the United States as early as 1997 and was continuing into the spring of 2001, the sources told The Associated Press. The same month as that briefing of Bush, U.S. intelligence officials received two uncorroborated reports suggesting terrorists might use airplanes, including one that suggested that al-Qaida operatives were considering flying a plane into a U.S. embassy, current and former government officials said. Those August 2001 reports — among thousands of varied and uncorroborated threats received by the government each month — were not deemed credible enough to tell the president or Rice, the officials said. Neither involved the eventual Sept. 11 plot.

Yeah but those pennies and billions end up as bribes in Bush and his cabinets pockets. Isn't that what patriotism is all about?
