Book Review: One Percent Doctrine

Book details Bush-Cheney's "One Percent" response to 9/11

• Credit card transactions routed to FBI
• Mentally ill man tortured, touted as major al Qaeda player
• And President Bush's response to the infamous briefing
where he was told bin Laden was determined to strike America:

The book's opening anecdote tells of an unnamed CIA briefer who flew to Bush's Texas ranch during the scary summer of 2001, amid a flurry of reports of a pending al-Qaeda attack, to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US." Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your ass, now."
