Rice argued the briefing was old and speculative.

Debate on Bush Terror Threats Remains In Focus At Hearing
Washington scrutiny of the Bush anti-terror strategy continues after Condoleezza Rice defended the effort before the 9 11 commission. The session highlighted what Bush and his aides knew in summer 2001 about terror threats and what steps they took, with Democrats accusing the president of lax attention during a Bush vacation period. A key classified briefing from August 6 2001 looms as Democrats cite it to gauge pre attack awareness.
