“Although the [August 7, 2001] SEIB [Senior Executive Intelligence Brief] repeated the title of [the August 6] PDB [Presidential Daily Brief, titled ‘Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in U.S.‘], it did not contain the reference to the hijackings, the alert in New York, the alleged casing of buildings in New York, the threat phoned in to the embassy, or the fact that the FBI had approximately 70 on-going bin Ladin-related investigations. No CSG [Counterterrorism Security Group] or other NSC [National Security Council] meeting was held to discuss the possible threat of a strike in the United States as a result of this report.”
