Hillary Memoir Says Work, Faith Saved Her [Har, har, har]

"Honest to God, she didn't know," Caputo said. "The president unfortunately misled everybody, including his wife and daughter."

There were many other persistent, if less sensational, burdens. She says she got through them with hard work, religious faith [channeling Eleanor], trusted friends and travel. Ireland was her favorite foreign destination.

She recounts the six "brutal" months after Inauguration Day in 1993: Her father died. White House aide and friend Vincent Foster killed himself. Her mother-in-law was dying. Critics were making hay with the missteps of a new administration.

"I did what I often do when faced with adversity," she says. "I threw myself into a schedule so hectic that there was no time for brooding."

Asked Wednesday about her book's account of the Lewinsky episode, the senator said, "I hope people will read the book. This book is about many things."

Ya got that right...primarily, of the stinking variety.

Dutch Court Clears 12 Men in Al Qaeda Trial

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) - A Dutch court on Thursday acquitted 12 men accused of plotting a "holy war" against the West and helping to recruit al Qaeda and Taliban fighters in the Netherlands.

The Rotterdam district court said there was no evidence to convict the men on charges of membership of an unspecified criminal organization that provided support to al Qaeda and the Taliban in their fight against U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan (news - web sites).

Prosecutors scaled down some of the charges against the group -- four Algerians, a Frenchman, a Moroccan, a Libyan, an Iraqi, an Egyptian, a Turk, a Mauritanian and a Dutch citizen -- during the course of the three-and-a-half week trial.

The men were arrested last year in raids across the Netherlands.
