Tenet assigned the CTC to develop the Plan. The proposals, brought out in September, sought to penetrate Qaeda's "Afghan sanctuary" with U.S. and Afghan agents, in order to obtain information on and mount operations against Bin Laden's network. In October, officers from the Bin Laden unit visited northern <a href="/wiki/Afghanistan" title="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</a>. Once the Plan was finalized, the Agency created a "Qaeda cell" (whose functions overlapped those of the CTC's <a href="/wiki/Bin_Laden_Issue_Station" title="Bin Laden Issue Station">Bin Laden unit</a>) to give operational leadership to the effort. </p><p>The CIA concentrated its inadequate financial resources on the Plan, so that at least some of its more modest aspirations were realized. Intelligence collection efforts on bin Laden and al-Qaeda increased significantly from 1999.

Baloney. Abu Zubaydah had been at the crossroads of many al-Qa'ida operations and was in position to—and did—share critical information with his interrogators. Apparently, the source of the rumor that Abu Zubaydah was unbalanced was his personal diary, in which he adopted various personas. From that shaky perch, some junior Freudians leapt to the conclusion that Zubaydah had multiple personalities. In fact, Agency psychiatrists eventually determined that in his diary he was using a sophisticated literary device to express himself. And, boy, did he express himself.</p></blockquote> <p>Critics pointed out a factual error in Tenet's book. On the book's first page, Tenet tells of a conversation with then-<a href="/wiki/The_Pentagon" title="The Pentagon">Pentagon</a> advisor <a href="/wiki/Richard_Perle" title="Richard Perle">Richard Perle</a> on September 12, 2001, in which Tenet claims Perle told him in person that "Iraq had to pay for the attack". But the conversation could not have occurred on that day, because Perle was stranded in Paris, France, on September 12 and did not return to <a href="/wiki/Washington,_D.C." title="Washington, D.C.">Washington</a> until three days later. Perle later stated that the two men indeed crossed each other one morning, as claimed by Tenet, but only later in the same week and not on September 12. But Perle insisted that he and Tenet exchanged no words in that encounter.<sup id="cite_ref-76" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-76"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>76<span
