"Daniel Benjamin, a former counter-terrorism official in the Clinton administration, argues there was indeed a plan to pursue al-Qaeda but that Bush officials weren't much interested."

I don't blame them, because from all appearances, the Clinton plan involved sending in a single cruise missle to destroy an unoccupied tent and perhaps kill a camel -- a meaningless symbolic action. We know this story is false, because when, in eight years as President, did Clinton ever come up with a substantive plan for anything.
