The usual suspects.
Hypolibs? Democrits? I'm sure there's a more appropriate term... oh, Rats!
Exactomundo.
I won't watch it. The entire controversy appears contrived to gain publicity, just to add viewers. There was probably never any intention of airing its original content.
..the flak gets the thickest when over the target.

A chill wind is blowing. (hat tip: Mr. Susan Sarandon)
This is actually great news in the long run....the Dems unwillingness/inability to constuctively participate in the greatest debate of the new century effectively ends thier political leadership...probably permanently...probably even as a functional party. Watching the Dems atrophy under Clinton leadership through the '90's, I nevere figured he'd completely kill it off...but he/she finally have. The treasonous and cowardly among us are labeled and identified.

And yet another reason why these loathsome bastards must never, ever, ever be returned to power.
Of course clinton doesn't want this information getting out; he thinks by now we have all forgotten and he is pure as the fresh wind driven snowfall:

9/11 Commission: Clinton Refused to Let CIA Kill Bin Laden
Announcing some of its preliminary findings on Wednesday, the 9/11 Commission has confirmed that President Clinton ordered the CIA to take Osama bin Laden alive or not at all - a directive that made the task of neutralizing the terrorist kingpin infinitely more difficult.
In a statement read at the beginning of Wednesday's session, 9/11 staffer Michael Hurley revealed:
"CIA senior managers, operators and lawyers uniformly said that they read the relevant authorities signed by President Clinton as instructing them to try to capture bin Laden.
"They believed that the only acceptable context for killing bin Laden was a credible capture operation. 'We always talked about how much easier it would have been to try to kill him,'" a former chief of the bin Laden station told the Commission.
"Working level CIA officers were frustrated by what they saw as the policy restraints of having to instruct their assets to mount a capture operation," the Commission statement said.
Commission staffer Hurley detailed one attempt to recruit indigenous Afghan forces in a bin Laden capture operation, explaining, "When Northern Alliance leader Massoud was briefed on the carefully worded instructions for him, the briefer recalled that Massoud laughed and said, 'You Americans are crazy. You guys never change.'"
... Last week NBC News quoted former CIA official Gary Schroen as saying that White House orders to spare bin Laden's life cut the chances of getting him in half, from 50 to 25 percent.
Schroen's revelation - now confirmed by the 9/11 Commission - was ignored by the mainstream press beyond its initial coverage by NBC.
Free speech for me, but none for thee.
N-i-c-e take.
Heheh----nice zinger. Wonder when Michael will (ahem) "weigh-in" on the brouhaha?
Those accusations only apply to Republicans! I'm curious to see how Clinton defenders on the weekend talk shows spin this to protect their patron saint.
I'm wondering, had the Justice Dept. actually gone after and prosecuted Sandy Berger, further than a fine and loss of security status, how this would be playing out. Same result? Backing off? Just curious.
That's usually when the pants are soiled as well.
