Khartoum, April 19, 1997. After eight months of negotiations and countless dinners of Nile perch and soggy French fries, I persuaded Sudan's president, Omar Hasan el Bashir, to make an unconditional offer to share Sudan's intelligence data with the FBI and CIA. The offer, made at my request directly to the 9/11 Commission's vice chairman, former Congressman Lee Hamilton (D., Ind.), sat in limbo for months. Hamilton personally discussed the offer with Berger and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, with little effect.

Here we have a SECOND member of the committee who should be answering instead of asking questions.

Bombshell #1.

At around the same time in mid-February 1998, bin Laden's key Sudan deputy traveled to Baghdad to meet Saddam's intelligence chief. The Clinton White House was aware of both developments.

Bombshell #2.

There are a LOT of problems with the folks on that committee. Hope journos like the ones at the NYP keep digging...Hint, hint.

Hmmmm. What was Hamilton's role in 1997? Was he another go between for the Administration?
