And a joint, bipartisan congressional committee investigating intelligence before Sept. 11, including the August 6 memo found nothing....Eleanor Hill headed the investigating staff
referring to the memo she did not explicitly note that the memo was focused primarily on a discussion of possible domestic targets.
Rice and other Bush administration officials have said the memo contains no reference to suicide attacks of the kind carried out on Sept. 11, focusing instead on "hijackings in the traditional sense." ...the Hijackings were a minor part of the analysis.
In one brief mention, sources said, the memo noted that unconfirmed information from British intelligence in 1998 showed that al Qaeda members talked about using an airline hijacking to negotiate the release of imprisoned Muslim cleric Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman.
Nothing but the heading said anything about attacks in the US.....
Three of the Sept. 11 hijackers received flight training in the United States, although all had ended their classes by the time the memo was written.

Lefty nuts insist on mixing up two different memo....
The memo, sent to FBI headquarters by a Phoenix FBI agent, warned that bin Laden could have been using U.S. flight schools to train terrorists and suggested a nationwide canvass for Middle Eastern aviation students. The CIA's discovery of an al Qaeda link was first reported by ABC News.
The FBI memo was never acted upon or distributed to outside agencies prior to Sept. 11 and was not provided to the CIA until May of 2002
Sources cautioned that CIA officials are not sure that they could have linked the two names to al Qaeda had they been given the memo in 2001.
Your accusations have been fully vetted by experts and left wanting....
So when it's some Rightie whose butt is on the line, you've got no problem waiting patiently for months and even YEARS for the joint, bipartisan congressional committee to issue it's conclusions.
But of course since it's someone you HATE in the WH, then a rush to judgement before all the facts are in is perfectly acceptable.
