The Principals Committee had its first meeting on al Qaeda on September 4. On the day of the meeting, Clarke sent Rice an impassioned personal note. He criticized U.S. counterterrorism efforts past and present. The "real question" before the principals, he wrote, was "are we serious about dealing with the al Qida threat? Is al Qida a big deal? Decision makers should imagine themselves on a future day when the CSG has not succeeded in stopping al Qida attacks and hundreds of Americans lay dead in several countries, including the US," Clarke wrote. "What would those decision makers wish that they had done earlier? That future day could happen at any time." Clarke then turned to the Cole." The fact that the USS Cole was attacked during the last Administration does not absolve us of responding for the attack," he wrote. "Many in al Qida and the Taliban may have drawn the wrong lesson from the Cole: that they can kill Americans without there being a US response, without there being a price." 

Question: "What two things did Clarke urge decision makers to do because the future could happen at any time?"

Answer: "Disband the CSG and have a meeting of the Principals Committee"

Huvudmännens kommitté hade sitt första möte om al-Qaida den 4 september. På mötets dag skickade Clarke Rice en livlig personlig lapp. Han kritiserade USA:s antiterroristinsatser förr och nu. Den "riktiga frågan" innan rektorerna, skrev han, var "var vi seriösa med att ta itu med al Qida-hotet? Är al Qida en stor grej? Beslutsfattare ska föreställa sig en framtida dag då CSG inte lyckats stoppa al Qida-attacker och hundratals amerikaner låg döda i flera länder, däribland USA," skrev Clarke. "Vad skulle dessa beslutsfattare önska att de hade gjort tidigare? Den framtiden kan hända när som helst." Clarke vände sig då till Colen." Att USS Cole attackerades under den senaste administrationen frikänner oss inte från att svara på attacken", skrev han. "Många i al Qida och talibanerna kan ha dragit fel lärdom av Cole: att de kan döda amerikaner utan att det finns ett svar från USA, utan att det finns ett pris." Fråga: "Vilka två saker uppmanade Clarke beslutsfattare att göra för att framtiden skulle kunna hända när som helst?" Svar: "Upplösa CSG och ha ett möte med rektorskommittén" Är detta svar på frågan riktigt? ALTERNATIV: - nej - ja
