Under pressure from the 9/11 commission, the White House on April 9, 2004 worked to declassify an intelligence memo that was used to inform President George W. Bush (news - web sites) on Aug. 6, 2001, that Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) wanted to launch attacks inside the United States. Democratic members of the bipartisan commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks demanded on Thursday that the president's daily intelligence briefing for that day be released to help them with their probe.
