According to his testimony during the 9/11 hearings, Richard Clarke, the former National Coordinator for Counter-terrorism,
had requested an 'urgent' meeting 'on January 24,2001' with very key persons in the White House to address the threat of terrorist attacks against US targets..... that urgent request
apparently was not granted until Sept. 4 2001.
