## Resource

The CIA just dumped dozens of top-secret presidential daily briefs from before 9/11, revealing how intelligence agencies had been warning for years that bin Laden and al-Qaeda were planning attacks on U.S. soil — even plotting hijackings and chemical strikes as early as 1998. Documents show the Taliban protected bin Laden, officials suspected his preferred target was Washington, and by 2001, the FBI was investigating 70 related cases. Though heavily redacted, these files underscore longstanding failures in inter-agency intel sharing — a problem that led to major reforms after the 9/11 Commission.
