WHITE HOUSE DECLASSIFIES INFAMOUS PRE 9/11 BRIEFING

From the NY Times via the Houston Chronicle:

After releasing the memo titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US," on Saturday evening, White House officials said none of the information given to the president at his ranch on Aug. 6, 2001, was later linked to the attacks. But the page-and-a-quarter-long briefing document showed that Bush was given more specific and contemporary information about terrorist threats than the White House had previously acknowledged. As recently as Thursday, the White House described the brief only as a "historical" account of al-Qaida activity.

Of course, as the pro-establishment NY Times is so kind to point out, the briefing does "not point to any specific time or place of attack, and [does] not warn that planes could be used as missiles." Nonetheless, despite the Times' attempt at "balance," the article shows that the White House has been guilty of Clintonizing the nature of the document: they knew more than they've admitted.
