Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright insisted Tuesday that Sudan never offered to round up Osama bin Laden and extradite him to the U.S. - saying President Clinton's claim to the contrary was "a misstatement."
Asked about Clinton's 2002 admission that six years earlier he had turned down Sudan's offer to extradite bin Laden because "he had commited no crime against America," Albright told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes": "He was not [offered]. He was not."
"If you look at the people who were saying that, there were many people who were lobbying for Sudan," she claimed.
But in a Feb. 2002 speech to a New York business group, Mr. Clinton detailed the episode, explaining "We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They released him. 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."

Another steaming load of BS from the "Waddlin' Madeline Half-Bright" liar. Everytime that *things* lips move, lies pour forth.
Madeliene Albright is on Fox right now talking about it.
Lying then or lying now? Take your pick.
Mansoor Ijaz says the Sudan offered a deal.
Idiots.
Hard to believe that THIS time, Clinton is the one telling the truth! Albright is either 1) shameless 2) Suffering from dementia or 3) A former government worker who was not trusted enough to be in the loop.
Is there any doubt that the MSM will agree wholeheartedly with Ms. Albright?
A little bit of history revision.
Re-writing history to benefit Hillary would be my pick.
The mute button sure comes in handy.
I'd like to say she loses credibility here, but she never had any in the first place.......
I believe that...but mostly because it comes from other sources. The Man Sore has been wrong on some things since the WOT began....and even before.
That is funny !
"First of all, terror, the killing of noncombatants for economic, political, or religious reasons has a very long history - as long as organized combat itself."
"Those of us who come from various European lineages are not blameless."
"Indeed, in the first Crusade, when the Christian soldiers took Jerusalem, they first burned a synagogue with 300 Jews in it, and proceeded to kill every woman and child who was Muslim on the Temple mound."
"Here in the United States, we were founded as a nation that practiced slavery and slaves were, quite frequently, killed even though they were innocent."
The U.S. "looked the other way when significant numbers of Native Americans were dispossessed and killed to get their land or their mineral rights or because they were thought of as less than fully human and we are still paying the price today."
not-so-bright is a piece of crap. I place dog dung, higher on the chain of life, above not-so-bright.
So you're saying that Bill Clinton is lobbying for Sudan, Ms Albright?
