The plan was finalized with the help of friendly Afghan tribal leaders.

It was even rehearsed twice in the United States in late 1997.

All it needed was approval from the White House.

On March 7, 1998, Richard Clarke, who headed the Interagency Counterterrorism Security Group, described the plan as embryonic to then National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, even as the CIA was conducting its third rehearsal of the action.

Military officers in the Pentagon reviewed the plan, and despite some mild misgivings that could have been attributed to interdepartmental rivalries, they generally expressed their satisfaction.

They supported it.

Legal justifications were prepared in advance from the CIA to the NSC for approval.

The Attorney General of the United States, the FBI Director, and the U.S.

Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where Bin Laden was to be tried if he was captured alive, were all briefed on the plan.

The CIA ran a fourth rehearsal between May 20th and May 24th, with the expectation that the plan would be executed in late June of that year, and no later than late July.

And yet, less than a week later, the CIA's assets in the field were informed that the operation had been suspended by the Clinton administration.

Things are changing faster than ever before, and that means you need to be sharp, clear, and alert to respond to what's happening.

That's what I want to tell you about something that helps you remain sharp, clear, and alert.
