MANSOOR IJAZ never says Clinton was offered Bin Laden. If you read his wording carefully, he says the Sudanese intelligence guy wanted to offer Bin Laden, and we know he was offered to Saudi Arabia. But there is not a shred of evidence anyone ever offered the White House Bin laden. Nothing.

So the whole rightewing story is just a big fat LIE.

Just because this man says he met with Clinton, doesn't mean he offered him anything. Indeed he never claims to have done so. The LA Times was wrong to highlight this story as they did. It has since been categorically denied by all the top people in the know. But the most dishonest of all are the Newsmax types who put out these flakey fabrications as it they were proof of fact.

As I said, the Fox News panel concluded that such an offer was probably made, but only on a low level, unofficial basis in the Horn Of Africa and they tracked the offer to Yemen where it went no further. If such an offer were made to some embassy person it was apparently not taken seriously. You can imagine there are a lot of crackpots calling the embassy.
