We all know that correlation doesn’t essentially imply causation. However typically you gotta marvel, particularly as Mr. Trump’s administration is busily dismantling the CIA. First, GW Bush ignore the PDB of August 8, 2001, on “Bin Laden determined to strike in US”. Then Trump 1.0 eliminates the NSC directorate on pandemic preparedness earlier than the Covid-19 pandemic (and apparently apart from Peter Navarro(!) ignores warnings about Covid).
The PDF of the whole memo (redacted after all), delivered 36 days earlier than 9/11, is right here.
Now, Mr. Trump’s administration goes full throttle to remove (as soon as once more) early warning techniques in opposition to threats to america. What’s coming subsequent?
