diverted to unnecessary issues such as who Clinton was sleeping with How does this apply to the WTC bombing in 1993 where only by shear luck 100,000 people working in the towers didn't die? The terrorist design was even more sinister than 9/11 but luckily wasn't successful. The Monica Lewinsky, at work no less not at some hotel or residence, and impeachment had nothing to to do with Clinton being asleep on watch in 1993 and being asleep on watch after 1993 though 2000 with other terrorist disasters occurring and trying to use mere law enforcement to stop it. Now that was a Clinton plan destined to failure and it failed repeatedly with the Embassy bombings and the USS Cole. How many terrorists did Clinton catch..he got Ramzi Yousef and couple other guys one being the CIA entrance shooter. Bush has gotten Saddam Hussein, Sheik Khalid Muhammad, Binalshib, Moussaui and caught or killed hundreds or thousands of others and he is catching or killing more all the time.

Well, first of all, Clinton talking about the Sudanese offer to hand over bin Ladin is pretty good evidence that the offer is not some figment of conservative imagination.

Then turning him down when as Clinton says, he knew bin Ladin intended to commit crimes against America, is an example of the problem of letting a war situation be constrained by law enforcement standards of evidence.

In fact, by 1996, Al Qaida had committed crimes against Americans, though I'm not sure we had evidence of the sort that would be required in a criminal court at the time.
