The aides, who refused to be identified because they were not supposed to discuss the subject with reporters, said they hoped they could soon declassify and publicly release at least some portion of the written briefing, which was the subject of repeated questions by members of a bipartisan commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks during testimony yesterday by White House national security adviser Condoleezza Rice.
. . .

Rice, who said in her public testimony yesterday that the report was entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States," described the briefing as a historical summary of suspected al Qaeda plots.

. big significant snip

Kerrey's description was supported by a joint House-Senate intelligence committee report. That report, released last July, said the briefing included "FBI judgments about patterns of activity consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks; as well as information acquired in May 2001 that indicated a group of bin Laden supporters was planning attacks in the United States with explosives."

1. See Condi? You take one report and put it with the other report......

Remember in first grade when they taught you how one plus one equals two? It still does, Condi. It still does.

3. And actually, for adults its common for one-plus-one. . .

to equal three, since intelligent, creative thought is capable of drawing inferences from disparate elements. . . something it seems Dr Rice is incapable of attaining.

2. "determined" is a most interesting choice of words

Two meanins-

determined, as he will stop at nothing to do it. or

determined, as in FBI/CIA have conclusive proof that he will attack.

Note: can't take credit for this, was on another thread last night.
