What should have been done in response to the briefing that Bin Laden planned to attack the US?

11. Compare it to the response of the Clinton administration to the Millennium bomb plot

There was some intelligence showing planning for a large bombing was taking place. They did not know where the bombers would strike.

So the Clinton administration made the FBI, CIA, and a bunch of other agencies meet every day to discuss what they had uncovered. This group also briefed Clinton every week.

The result was they put all the pieces together and arrested the bombers when they drove the truck bomb across the Canadian border. As a result, there was not a massive explosion at Los Angeles International Airport.

Thanks to after-the-fact investigations, we know that all the information necessary to prevent 9/11 was known by the government. It was not known by the same people in the government, so the pieces were not put together. If Bush had done what Clinton did, the pieces would have been put together, and 9/11 would not have happened.
