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".
