“…for seven months George Tenet’s CIA had been hand-delivering warnings to the president [Bush] about al-Qaeda at a rate of nearly two a week. Tenet might have volunteered one or two additional pieces of information–for example, the report he received on August 23 [2001] that FBI field agents in Minneapolis wanted to investigate an ‘Islamic extremist [Zacarias Moussaoui]‘ arrested while learning to fly 747 airliners. Tenet says he told the White House nothing about that.”
