“On July 10 [2001], [CIA Director George] Tenet and the head of the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center, J. Cofer Black, met with National Security Advisor [Condoleezza] Rice to underline how seriously they took the chatter being picked up by NSA [National Security Agency]. Both Tenet and Black came away from the meeting believing that Rice did not take their warnings seriously.”
