C-Span Loosing Bin Laden
Author Richard Miniter on now. The subject of the book may not be Breaking News but Miniter being pimped on CNN before Mr. Bushes big speech tonight most certainly is.

Miniter suggests that Cinton dismissed a Sudanese offer to turn Bin Laden over to the US government.

1. Richard Miniter
I e-mailed C-Span and told them they have an obligation to let Sidney Blumenthal appear on their show to refute Miniter's claims. Mr. Blumenthal served in the Clinton White House; he knows what happenned.

2. It's all Bill's fault
We should have known. The guy denies Ronnie or Bush SR had any part in arming and training Bin Laden and the boys. Yet to come, he will finish the saga with a book on Bush losing Bin Laden. Yeah right, when will it come out after 2 years of research. He also fails to note the republican congress which tied Bill's troublesome hands.

3. never happened
The offer came not from any facet of the Sudanese government but from a private citizen and a known international criminal.

4. Credibility Gap
This guy is a former WSJ editorial writer. Enough said. He was probably busy penning Vince Foster suicide articles through the 90's.
This guy is a hack.

5. Losing.
It is spelled "losing." "Loosing" seems to plague the internet as far as incorrect spellings go. You "lose" a sock and "loosen" a bolt.
