The President had seen previous intelligence reports about possible al-Qa'ida threats to U.S. targets outside the United States. The President had asked whether any of the information pointed to a possible attack inside the United States.

How exactly did he think of that? Do they mean that perhaps he had insight that the entire Intelligence community lacked?
