Are you saying that terrorists actively planned such an attack in that timeframe?

Let me clarify.

Are you saying that Bin Laden started planning the 9/11 attacks 'right' after the inauguration, and not a minute before? Would it matter if I said that Tenet was Director of the CIA before Bush came to office?
It's not hard to believe that the Bush administration may have deliberately ignored reports about a massive attack on US Soil in the hopes that an event of 9/11's magnitude would result.

It's happened before in American history. I may be incorrect on this, but I do recall some controversy over whether or not the attack on Pearl Harbor was known in advance.

The effect is part of Naomi Klein's book "The Shock Doctrine".
