"Look, people, this report came out of the White House of confessed perjurer William Jefferson Clinton. You're damn right we wanted to fact-check it before we acted on it!"
The thing is, this "story" has ZERO credibility, just as all earlier 'BUSH-NEW!' smear campaigns (there've been several).
During the transition, the Clinton Administration was more concerned about prying the freakin' "W's" off of keyboards than global terrorism and Osama bin Laden.
