CIA failed to share hijacker intel with FBI and INS
Washington AP: CIA watched two Sept. 11 hijackers at an al Qaida meeting over a year before the attacks but did not inform the FBI or INS. Sen. Shelby calls the CIA’s intelligence failures massive, suggesting different actions might have prevented entry or allowed monitoring. The Kuala Lumpur meeting was disclosed by a U.S. official.

Bush pushes welfare reform in Arkansas campaign
President Bush campaigns in Arkansas to press welfare changes requiring more work hours and hundreds of millions to promote marriage. He cites a 1996 law and strong economy that cut welfare rolls by over 50 percent and cut poverty by about five million since 1996, as Congress debates a renewal and new GOP plans push state job placement targets to 70 percent by 2007.
