From Bob Woodward's new book, state of Denial, via NY Times:

On July 10, 2001, the book says, Mr. Tenet and his counterterrorism chief, J. Cofer Black, met with Ms. Rice at the White House to impress upon her the seriousness of the intelligence the agency was collecting about an impending attack. But both men came away from the meeting feeling that Ms. Rice had not taken the warnings seriously.

I remember reading "All the President's Men" a long time ago and being absolutely amazed that reporters could hold a president accountable. Of course, that was 30 years ago. Nice to see Mr. Woodward is growing back his pair.
