He is quoted by Richard Miniter, author of Losing bin Laden: How Bill Clinton’s Failures Unleashed Global Terror (Washington, DC: Regnery, 2003). Miniter also noted, "Never once in his two-year tenure did CIA director James Woolsey ever have a one-on-one meeting with Clinton. Even semiprivate meetings were rare. They only happened twice." Woolsey was also described in Jim Geraghty’s Voting to Kill: How 9/11 Launched the Era of Republican Leadership (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2006), 99-in reference to a joke at the time-as the pilot of the plane that crashed onto the White House lawn in 1994, making one last desperate attempt to get an appointment to see President Clinton.
