Again, that memo contained enough alarming info that Bush could have done something. Instead, he did nothing. Onetime2 specifically asked what could have been done, then criticized my suggestions as being hindsight.
I think Skettios sums things up nicely.

The question is: 'Did a document entitled 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside U.S.' give Condi Rice and the Bush administration any warning that there would be an attack, and if so what did they do about it?
The answer is: Yes, It did. It said they were watching federal buildings in New York, and no, they did nothing about it.
