Drudge Report ^ | 11/30/01 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 11/30/2001 2:29:50 PM PST by Shenandoah

NEW YORK --VANITY FAIR HAS OBTAINED LETTERS and memorandums that document approaches made by Sudanese intelligence officials and other emissaries to members of the Clinton administration to share information about many of the 22 terrorists on the government's most-wanted list, including: Osama bin Laden.

VANITY FAIR is set to unleash the story in January 2002 editions, publishing sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

THE MUKHABARAT, A SUDANESE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, spent the early to mid-1990s amassing copious amounts of information on bin Laden and his cohorts at a time when they were relatively unknown and their activities limited, author David Rose reports. From the fall of 1996 until weeks before the September 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, the Mukhabarat made repeated efforts to share its files on terrorists with the U.S. On more than one occasion senior F.B.I. officials wanted to accept the offers, but were apparently overruled by the State Department.

FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE MADELEINE ALBRIGHT and her assistant secretary for Africa, Susan Rice, declined to comment for this story.

More rantings from the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Madeline Albright and Bill Clinton, himself, have already come out and stated that getting bin Laden was there number one, top, reason-for-existing priority!

Didn't Madeline Albright recently admit, "...but we didn't have enough intelligence"?

True, Madeline, you apparently didn't.

Very good. Outstanding! America's eyes have been opened and the inane ramblings of Leahy and his ilk will be their downfall.

I am so sick of Clinton haters. He is just a misunderstood good ole' boy. He "feels our pain", he even said so.

Can't we just all get along?

Indexed!

Rush talked about this today, and between that exposure and the fact that this magazine comes out before Christmas, may mean a lot of people will read about this.

I'll wait until the article is released before passing any judgement, but I'll be very disgusted if it turns out that he bombed Sudan after they tried to give him info on Bin Laden.

from the link...The fallout from Leahy's whimsical 'dirty bomb' gambit will backfire, big time.

Huang2 is so right on. ;)
