September 11 memo may have warned about hijackings

WASHINGTON (AFP) - A classified memo sent to President George W. Bush (news - web sites) about a month before the September 11, 2001 attacks may have warned that al-Qaeda planned to hijack US airliners, an official inquiry was told.

National security advisor Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) was closely questioned about the memorandum, sent to Bush on August 6, 2001, when she gave sworn testimony to the commission.

It seems appropriate to pull this article out of the old archives, so that we can frame our discussion of the August 6, 2001 DPB Memo witin the proper timeline. :-)

See You in September
Bush Heads to Texas Ranch for
Monthlong 'Working Vacation'

By Carter M. Yang

W A S H I N G T O N, Aug. 3 — For the next 30 days, it will be home on the ranch for President Bush

With his administration 6 months old, Bush is set to shed the confines of the White House and head to his sprawling ranch in Crawford, Texas, to begin a monthlong, outside-the-Beltway retreat.
"I'm headed home to the heartland to listen to the American people and to talk about the values that unite and sustain our country," Bush said in a Rose Garden speech this afternoon.

'A Little Fishing, … A Little Policy'

White House press secretary Ari Fleischer told reporters the chief executive was also looking forward to "enjoying a little down time, a little running and a little cedar clearing."

"He'll do a little fishing on the ranch, I'm sure he'll have friends and family over to the ranch, he'll do a little policy, he'll keep up with events," Fleischer added.
