The August 6, 2001, President’s Daily Briefing (PDB) warned of the potential for bin Laden to attack the U.S. “Looking back, [President] Bush admitted that he did not react with the alarm he should have. He did not summon the directors of the FBI and the CIA. He did not order heightened alerts. Nor was any action requested of him in the memo. ‘I didn’t feel that sense of urgency,’ Bush said. The thinness of the memo and his faith in the FBI lulled him into a false sense of security.”
