*The first World Trade Center bombing was on February 26, 1993, one month into the Clinton Administration. The terrorists - Egyptians and Palestinians -- blew a hole six stories deep beneath the North Tower intending to topple it onto the South Tower and kill 250,000 people. It was - in the words of the definitive account - "the most ambitious terrorist attack ever attempted, anywhere, ever." Clinton did nothing. He did not even visit the site. Worse, he allowed the attack to be categorized as a criminal act by individuals, even though its mastermind - as the administration soon discovered -- was an Iraqi intelligence agent named Ramzi Youssef.

It's true that Hersch didn't mention the name Clinton once in his article, but I don't discount everything out of hand for that reason.

It's true that Hersch didn't mention the name Clinton once in his article, but I don't discount everything out of hand for that reason.

Are you drunk? He mentioned it in the excerpt your posted! Hersch's article doesn't quote ANY unnmamed sources.

I don't often agree with Hersch's opinions, but he is a journalist who sources his quotes. The Brits, especially THE GUARDIAN, don't.

Yet your buddy, Briley, accuses Bush of stifling "an investigation" of Arabs with nothing but unnamed sources with an agenda to back up his hair-brained position.

Do you find it odd that Patrick couldn't dig up an American media source (like the Washington Post, which would love to bury Bush) as a resource?
