In reference to an urgent meeting called with National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, then-Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) George Tenet wrote: “I can recall no other time in my seven years as DCI that I sought such an urgent meeting [on July 10, 2001] at the White House. Condi made the time immediately …[unidentified covert CIA operative] Rich’s opening line got everyone’s attention…’There will be a significant terrorist attack in the coming weeks or months!’ ”
