"But on Tuesday, when a front-page Washington Times story highlighted how '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 networks ignored it. CBS on Tuesday instead raised the stigma of Iraq becoming like Vietnam and CNN's 'American Morning' managed to find time for how 'Bill Clinton's foundation will provide cheaper generic drugs to AIDS patients in all needy nations affiliated with the U.N.'
