“On August 23 [2001], DCI [Director of Central Intelligence George] Tenet was briefed about the [potential terrorist Zacarias] Moussaoui case in a briefing titled ‘Islamic Extremist Learns to Fly.’ ” The FBI had arrested Moussaoui for overstaying his visa, but Tenet, seeing this as an FBI case, “did not discuss the matter with anyone at the White House or the FBI. No connection was made between Moussaoui’s presence in the United States and the threat reporting during the summer of 2001.”
