Clinton people KNEW that AQ was in the United States and did NOTHING. They didn't even follow their OWN recommendations.
It's why Ashcroft mentioned in his 9/11 testimony that it's important to read the report because it was clear the recommendations were not followed. He said they would be hard recommendations to implement and there would be criticism and he knew that because he's in that position now post 9/11.
This was mentioned but what Ashcroft also said is that none of this was breifed to hime during the handover!!
