officials before they took office that Osama bin Laden was one of the

commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks.

"During the summer of 2001 the volume of intelligence about threats
grew alarming. "By late July, there were indications of multiple,
possibly catastrophic, terrorist attacks being planned against
American interests overseas," the national commission's staff report
said."


Sounds like a great time for the president to take a month long
vacation, eh? Asleep at the switch.
