No cable, but I'll look for the FReeper reports.

Joe Scarborough ran Lisa Myers' NBC exclusive video of an unmanned CIA Predator drone tracking OBL in fall 2000. Lisa Myers narrated her report (pretty much verbatim, as posted above), while the video shot from the drone ran.

The video showed Tarnak Farm in Afghanistan, which was the walled compound where OBL was supposedly living at the time. From the video shot by the drone, you could very clearly see groups of men doing some sort of military-like maneuvers/drills with a very tall white-robed figure in the middle of these men all the time. (OBL is 6 ft 5)

Lisa Myers concluded with: "NBC News contacted the three top Clinton national security officials. None would do an on-camera interview". Two of the officials pictured were Madeleine Albright and Sandy Berger. I can't remember who the other one was.

After Lisa Myers' report, Joe had a short discussion with David Frum of the American Enterprise Institute and author of the book: "An End to Evil: How to Win the War on Terror". The discussion turned to the election in Spain. Frum said "We can fear that the voters of Spain have opened the rest of Europe to attacks by al Qaeda". He said that in the U.S., however, 9-11 only strengthened our resolve.

Bottom line re: Clinton missing OBL: The Clinton administration didn't treat terrorists as a military issue (as they should have), but as a legal one. When they had a clear picture of OBL and could've struck at him, the U.S. military's hands were tied.

If you'd like to see a replay of this report, "Scarborough Country" reruns on MSNBC at 3am ET.

Hmmm... what else was going on during Fall 2000? Weren't the Klintoons awfully busy with Hitlery's NY Senate campaign??
