McLaughlin told the commission in private that amid a major
spike in terrorist-threat intelligence in the summer of
2001, he "felt a great tension—especially in June and July
2001—between the new Administration's need to understand
these [terrorist] issues and his sense that this was a
matter of great urgency." The panelists are expected to ask
whether threat warnings during 2001 were treated as
seriously as those delivered to the Clinton Administration
in late 1999. In the wake of such CIA reports, the Clinton
team's insistence on shaking "the agency for whatever it
has," in the words of Clinton National Security Adviser
Sandy Berger, helped thwart several plots set for the eve of
the new millennium.
