15. A reichstag fire event was needed.

PNAC papers show it was not simply needed, but discussed.

And even if it wasn't MIHOP, it doesn't take a high IQ to think maybe LIHOP:

Woodward: Rice Brushed Off Tenet's Warning About bin Laden in July 2001

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/20...

"State of Denial" adds new information about Rice's role in the Bush administration's efforts to combat terrorism in the months before the Sept. 11 attacks. That subject became a source of controversy this week after former President Bill Clinton accused "President Bush's neocons" and other Republicans of ignoring Osama bin Laden until the attacks, and Rice responded angrily to the charge.

Woodward writes that on July 10, 2001, then-CIA director George Tenet became so concerned about the communication intelligence agencies were receiving indicating that a terrorist attack was imminent that he went to the White House with counterterrorism chief J. Cofer Black -- without an appointment -- to meet with Rice, then the national security adviser. He and Black hoped the meeting would alert Rice to the urgency they felt.

But Tenet and Black felt that Rice gave them "the brush-off," according to Woodward, telling them that a plan for coherent action against bin Laden was already in the works. Woodward writes that both Tenet and Black felt the meeting was the starkest warning the White House was given about bin Laden.

#### ON CNN< Condi Rice told the reporter that she had advised Willie Brown, former SF Mayor, and Calif. state legislator, not to travel on Sept 11th 2001.
(I forget if she appeared on CNN in May of 2002, or May 2003.)
