Undelivered text adds fuel to row over whether Bush White House took al-Qaida threat seriously
Julian Borger in Washington Friday April 2, 2004 The Guardian
The US national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, was due to deliver a major national security speech on September 11 2001. But it dwelt not on terrorism but on the proposed Star Wars missile defence system.
The White House confirmed the existence of the draft speech, which was first reported by the Washington Post, but refused to release the full text. However, a spokesman argued that one speech focusing on missile defence did not mean the White House was ignoring the terrorist threat.
