The question about Monsoor is what the heck was a man whose main credential was that he was a campaign contributor doing negotiating for the President of the United States, in the matter of Bin Laden?

Where did this man come from, why did he have such access to classified information, and what was his relationship to Clinton.

He has helped put this calamity in the proper framework but how did this happen?

In an administration in which Jesse Jackson was sent as an emissary to negotiate for hostage release, it doesn't surprise me that this guy was tapped. Remember, the thing that qualified you as a participant in the Clinton Administration was either money or the ability to deliver votes. Securitiy issues were way down the list.

My guess is that clinton wanted a healthy sum of money to take Bin Laden off their hands.

You got me on that one but I have seen him on FOX NEWS a lot over the past 8 months. He is articulate and seems to know a lots re: Arab background.
