Quick Take

From FoxNews, Janet Reno and John Ashcroft Did Not Discuss Al Qaeda:

Reno said that after Ashcroft replaced her when President Bush took office in 2001, she sent him memos saying the government needs to 'connect the dots' in regards to terrorism and to deal with it. But she said she doesn't recall talking to Ashcroft specifically about Al Qaeda or Usama bin Laden.

In other words, Reno said, "There's a problem, we don't know what it is, but you gotta figure it out." What gets me is that the other online services (CNN, ABC, MSNBC) don't even mention this at all.
