The wingers are, er, going ballistic_{MR SUBLIMINAL Wetting themselves} about "special gifts" for 9/11 that the oddly bearded, "Wanted," yet, strangely, still alive Terror Overlord Osama Bin Laden mentions in his latest conveniently timed video.

One acronym:

Yeah, we need more "tools" for our intelligence services, because when they produce a report designed to be put before the President's own eyes as the most important thing he will read all day, and they title it BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE INSIDE US and he fucking blows it off, bad things happen.

First one I saw to declare this an Official Blogswarm Day was Sinfonian, and he sums it up well at his joint, BlastOff! (yeah, he's in Florida, how'd you guess?):

On August 6, 2001, Drunky McStagger received his presidential daily briefing (PDB) from aide Harriet Miers (above, in a logo designed by Tengrain). In it, he was warned that Osama bin Laden was poised to strike the United States in a terrorist attack of unprecedented proportions.

The president took no action.

Thirty-six days after the PDB, bin Laden did take action.
