Did You Get - Or Read - That Memo?
It seems National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice has made a hobby of receiving memos/reports with dire information, and then doing absolutely nothing about them:
RICE RECEIVED RED CROSS MEMO WARNING ABOUT PRISON ABUSE:
"ICRC President Jakob Kellenberger spoke about prison conditions in January with National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice." No action was taken.

RICE CLAIMS TO NOT HAVE SEEN OR NOT HAVE REMEMBERED URANIUM MEMO:
Rice admits she received repeated memos and warnings from the CIA not to include a claim that Iraq had acquired Uranium in the President's 2003 State of the Union. Nonetheless, the claim was included by Rice and others in the State of the Union. To defend herself, she actually said “I can tell you, I either didn't see the memo or I don't remember seeing the memo.”
- Condoleezza Rice, 7/30/03
RICE RECEIVED MEMO ABOUT BIN LADEN ATTACK BEFORE 9/11, AND DID NOTHING:
Rice claimed that the Administration had no warning about an imminent Al Qaeda attack before 9/11, but then acknowledged receiving a memo in August 2001 which was titled “Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." She had also received “a stream of other alarming reports on al Qaeda’s intentions.” She claimed that these memos “were focused primarily on threats to U.S. interests” but sources have made clear that the memos “were focused on attacks within the United States.”
