[Sleepless In NY]

"SHAME"

Relatives of the Sept. 11 victims ripped into Condoleezza Rice yesterday after she insisted the Bush administration had no clue the U.S. would be attacked.

"Shame," Terry McGovern, a New Yorker whose mother was killed, yelled at the national security adviser during Rice's testimony before the 9/11 commission.

also: "Condi reveals a hijack hint"

Victims' families sat stunned when Rice revealed in testimony before the 9/11 commission that an Aug. 6, 2001, CIA briefing for Bush spelled out the previously undisclosed assessment of Osama Bin Laden's desire to hit the homeland.

The disclosure was doubly dramatic because it appears to conflict with Bush's repeated insistence that he would have done everything in his power to thwart the New York and Pentagon terror strikes had he but known about them http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/story/181956p-157981c.html

also: "What exactly was Condi Rice's job?"
The document's title, "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside United States," does sound as though it might grab somebody's attention and spark urgent action. National security adviser Condoleezza Rice, though, spent much of her three hours before the 9/11 commission asserting that this secret memo, presented to President Bush more than a month before the assaults upon New York and Washington, was not "specific threat reporting,"
Several of Rice's interrogators appeared to think otherwise, and they have seen this memo of Aug. 6, 2001, and other documents compiled that summer http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ideas_opinions/story/181819p-157846c.html
