If you read Clarke's Against all Enemies, you would know that there was a process in place. The Clinton Administration's team was tapped into all the agencies, asking to be advised of any "chatter" and were told to "shake the trees" to get information. There were daily meetings and Clinton was given full reports which he actually read.

In comparison, when Bush stepped in, there was nobody streamlining the information between the CIA and FBI. And reports had to be dumbed down for W. The flaw of 9/11, was that we missed the kind of "chatter" that the Clinton Administration was successfully intercepting.

Oh, and did I forget about the translators? The Bush Administration removed the gay translators and replaced them with potential toadies.
9/11 would never have happened under Clinton's watch.
