Here's a quote from the article:

Now for the 9/11 Commission report. It disclosed that Clinton delegated to Berger national security issues and getting Osama bin Laden. Berger was presented with recommended plans to capture or strike at bin Laden at least four times: from CIA Director George Tenet in the spring of 1998 and June 1999, counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke in December 1999 and the CIA again in August 2000. Intelligence knew where bin Laden was.

In all cases, Berger said "no." He wrote notes on the plans with comments such as "Seven to 11 families in the Tarnack terrorist camp could be casualties," and "If he responds, we're blamed," or "If we captured him we might not have enough evidence to convict him," or "I will want more than verified location to provide assurance he will remain in place."


There are no references for the statements in bold. Does anyone recall seeing this before?

No, I have NOT seen that before, and thank you for calling it to our attention!

Where could that information have come from?
