Despite intense media coverage of this document, almost no one seems to be providing the full text. Agonist to the rescue! Minor transcription errors suggest the text has been retyped from a document sent by facsimile to media outlets. This would explain why so few are as yet offering the full text.

[UPDATE: Reuters is now providing the full text (but not the accompanying Fact Sheet) at

if you'd prefer. MSNBC is providing a copy at

as well. You'll find the fact sheet at

as an "official" copy.]

(Intro by Reuters) At the demand of the 9/11 commission, the White House made public on Saturday a classified intelligence document from a month before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that told President Bush of al Qaeda plans to attack the United States with explosives or hijack airplanes.

The page and a half memo is entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside the United States."

The copy of the PDB that has been released is a copy of the PDB prepared for the President, except that three redactions have been made to protect the names of foreign governments that provided information to CIA.
