Clinton, Albright, and the Sudan
As the 9/11 commission report is being disected, and the "who knew what when" posts and articles are being published, several older articles are resurfacing. I am sure I spotted this article, originally published in Vanity Fair, two years ago; it's a thoroughly documented history of the utter arrogance and denial of the Clinton administration, especially of Madeline Albright and the State Department and our favorite stocking-stuffer Sandy Berger, in it's dealings with the Sudan's repeated offers to share intelligence on OBL and al Qaeda.
One can only wonder (not with childlike awe, but with cancerous regret) just what might have been prevented had the Clinton administration worked with the Mukhabarat (Sudan's 'CIA') in 1996 and onward.
It's not "Bush Lied!" It's "Clinton Lied Down!"
Much more at Just One Minute blog. Scroll up and down for very thorough coverage on the commission report and the Bergler.
