“On June 28 [2001], [counterterrorism czar Richard] Clarke wrote [National Security Advisor Condoleezza] Rice that Al Qaeda activity suggesting an imminent attack ‘had reached a crescendo. …A series of new reports continue to convince me and [intelligence] analysts at [the Department of] State, CIA, D.I.A. [Defense Intelligence Agency] and NSA [National Security Agency] that a major terrorist attack or series of attacks is likely in July.’ ”
