CNN just repeated the lie that Clinton refused the extradition of OBL.

Clinton’s record on terrorism has been misrepresented by Bush and the Republicans. Clinton no doubt had done damage to our country by lying about his misconduct with Monica Lewinsky that ended in his impeachment. But that had nothing to do with his record on dealing with terrorism. Clearly, Bush's record on terrorism is terrible, although Republican propagandist have regularly tried to shift the blame for the 9/11 tragedy to Clinton's administration.

The facts are, however, between 1996 and 2000 Clinton increased federal spending on counter-terrorism to more than $12 billion annually. The FBI's counter-terrorism budget had been $78 million in 1996, which was increased to $609 million in 2000. Whether or not the FBI spent the money wisely was up to Louis Freeh, the Clinton-appointed, Republican director of the FBI.

An investigative report in the Washington Post by Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon, “The Age of Sacred Terror,” contradicts the Republicans faulting Clinton. The Sudanese government offered to arrest Osama bin Laden and place him in Saudi custody. Not American custody. Barton Gellman of the Post reported on how the Clinton administration had tried to get the Saudis to accept custody of Bin Laden. But they refused. There was no offer to turn Bin Laden over to the U.S.

Let’s not forget that at this time Sudan had offered to help in the fight against terrorism, but only if the U.S. lifted the economic sanctions, imposed in response to their genocidal campaign against Christians in their country. Trying to get the sanctions lifted, Sudan repeatedly offered to share its intelligence about Islamic terrorists with the U.S. However, the FBI and the CIA concluded that Sudan was not providing anything useful on Bin Laden or al-Qaeda.

7. Which ass said it exactly?

[gully]

8. A guest who remained uncorrected.

Don't recall his name. But, the fact that he peddled it and it was "left" without dispute is disgusting.

[dogday]

10. Don't you just hate it when those nasty facts get in the way....

Let's not go and bring up the truth... That would confuse the message these Crooks are trying to send....:sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm:

11. I sent this in as a reporting error

It was reported that Clinton refused the extradition of OBL from Sudan. In other words it 9/11 was all Clintons fault of course!

But in the 9/11 Commision report there is no mention of this! See page 62 and 63 which discusses why Bin Laden left Sudan. Also here is a link that further refutes your report: http://www.interventionmag.com/cms/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=686

excerpt from that link:

13. CNN is "partnered" with Disney.....

Times-Warner, CNN, ABC is basically nearly all the same thing.

We shouldn't forget this.

The Corporate media will hang together on this. They always do.
