Rumsfeld's full statement notes that the document was devised around June of that year, shaped through several meetings, then presented to the folks cited that final week before the attacks.
I'm surprised there hasn't been any comments from others about the triggering event' transcript and Ikle's contemplation of a dramatic external event' being required for a desired military expenditure buildup in Peter's thread about early war on terror speculation from 1976. To my knowledge, that transcript has never before been posted online anywhere. The meeting was full of Team B / Committee on the Present Danger folk, plus close associates of Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld, and Rumsfeld later took over the running of the same think tank that staged the conference. It's an important signpost on the route to the REBUILDING AMERICA'S DEFENCES document, with attendees close to the signatories of that statement, but I think I'm getting the impression most 9/11 researchers - and I'm talking generally, not singling out members from this board - prefer discussion of the same dozen or so topics.
