Al Qaeda absent from final Clinton report
By James G. Lakely
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

(BTW it is Clarke's defense of the Clinton administration's record on terrorism - saying that there was no higher priority - while bad-mouthing the Bush administration for not having done anything (except make a new original plan to eliminate AQ) in its first 7.5 months in office, that most clearly reveals the despicable craven partisan lies at the heart of Richard Clarke's book and testimony.)
    
    The final policy paper on national security that President Clinton submitted to Congress — 45,000 words long — makes no mention of al Qaeda and refers to Osama bin Laden by name just four times.
    The scarce references to bin Laden and his terror network undercut claims by former White House terrorism analyst Richard A. Clarke that the Clinton administration considered al Qaeda an "urgent" threat, while President Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, "ignored" it.
    The Clinton document, titled "A National Security Strategy for a Global Age," is dated December 2000 and is the final official assessment of national security policy and strategy by the Clinton team. The document is publicly available, though no U.S. media outlets have examined it in the context of Mr. Clarke's testimony and new book.
