A few hours after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, President Bush spoke with CIA briefer Michael Morell. ” ‘Who do you think did this?’ Bush asked. ‘There are two terror states capable, Iran and Iraq, but both have everything to lose and nothing to gain,’ Morell said. ‘If I had to guess I’d put a lot of money on the table that it was al-Qaeda.’ ”
