I'm not fibbing. But shortly after his account first appeared in the Los Angeles Times, former Clinton officials trashed the bin Laden extradition story as an exaggeration at best - a complete fabrication at worst. Asked to respond to Ijaz's account in January, ex-NSC aide Nancy Soderberg told Fox News Channel, "He's living in a fantasy land. There was no such Sudanese offer." "He's lying ... he's a crackpot," said Jennifer Palmieri, a former White House aide who now serves as chief spokeswoman for the Democratic National Committee, of Ijaz's story in May. "The guy has absolutely no credibility. You'll see that you never see him on television anymore once he was outed as being a fraud." Mainstream reporters, apparently unaware of Clinton's February comments, have also trashed Ijaz's account. In May, both New York Times reporter Judith Miller and NBC newswoman Andrea Mitchell told radioman Don Imus they declined to cover the bin Laden extradition story because they didn't find it credible. No you're not...you're just reading the "good" parts. To people like you, it all depends on what your definition of a "sin" is. People like me? Like what? Al

he nixed the idea because he couldn't come up with a legal justification for the 9-11 mastermind's extradition. This is pretty fibbish. At the time Osama was in Sudan he was not the 9-11 mastermind as that was way before 9-11 was concieved. He was just guy who might do something wrong but hadn't yet done anything to violate U.S. laws. Do you really want the president extraditing every looney around the world who might do something wrong? and then what would he do with all of them? The fibbish part is to try to place this in the context of events that happened long after. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America. So far thought crimes aren't even covered by the Patriot Act. TP
