  washingtonpost.com: At Camp David, Advise and Dissent
At the heart of the proposal was a recommendation that the president give the CIA what Tenet labeled "exceptional authorities" to attack and destroy al Qaeda in Afghanistan and the rest of the world.
Tenet then turned to another top secret document, called the "Worldwide Attack Matrix," which described covert operations in 80 countries that were either underway or that he was now recommending.
The problem, Shelton said, was that the camps were virtually empty and therefore the missile attacks would not be that effective.

All the information coming out now about prior warnings of an attack on some U.S. installation only confirms the theory that the warlike group of Bush, Tenet, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz, with Colin Powell reluctantly tagging along behind, knew full well that there would be a strike.
