Despite Richard Clarke warning Cheney and Co. about impending al Qaeda attacks …repeatedly, the Bush administration never took appropriate action. Now, Cheney is denying he ever heard of anything.

Some of Clarke’s emphatic e-mails warning the Bush administration of the al Qaeda threat throughout 2001:

•    ”Bin Ladin Public Profile May Presage Attack” (May 3)

•    ”Terrorist Groups Said Co-operating on US Hostage Plot” (May 23)

•    ”Bin Ladin’s Networks’ Plans Advancing” (May 26)

•    ”Bin Ladin Attacks May Be Imminent” (June 23)

•    ”Bin Ladin and Associates Making Near-Term Threats” (June 25)

•    ”Bin Ladin Planning High-Profile Attacks” (June 30)

•    ”Planning for Bin Ladin Attacks Continues, Despite Delays” (July 2)
