What Was In Bush's Daily Briefings???:

"Under an agreement with the White House last year, one member of the commission, Jamie Gorelick, former deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration, was allowed to read through a full library of the briefings, and two other commissioners were allowed a partial review.

Gorelick said at the hearing yesterday that information in the documents 'would set your hair on fire, and not just George Tenet's hair on fire,' referring to the CIA director.

Although barred under secrecy regulations from discussing much of what was in the reports, she said that there had been 'an extraordinary spike' of intelligence warning of an al-Qaida attack that was cited in the Daily Brief during 2001 and that 'it plateaued at a spike level for months.'"
