#2 If there's nothing in there, then after Kerry makes huge waves about it, the WH will release it before the election and stick it in Kerry's eye.

#3 Via Croooow Blog:

The final policy paper on national security that President Clinton submitted to Congress â 45,000 words long â makes no mention of al Qaeda and refers to Osama bin Laden by name just four times.

The scarce references to bin Laden and his terror network undercut claims by former White House terrorism analyst Richard A. Clarke that the Clinton administration considered al Qaeda an "urgent" threat, while President Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, "ignored" it.

The Clinton document, titled "A National Security Strategy for a Global Age," is dated December 2000 and is the final official assessment of national security policy and strategy by the Clinton team. The document is publicly available, though no U.S. media outlets have examined it in the context of Mr. Clarke's testimony and new book.

The fact that it took this long for this to get out speaks volumes...

#4 A2U - Hey, go easy - the OBL reference rate is .000267% (4 x 3 = 12; 12 / 45000), by gum! Messiah Clarke prolly advised double that and was over-ruled, I'd wager, and prolly even wanted AlQ mentioned once or twice! He's The Messiah - his book proves it - it's not his fault if his advice was ignored. I think we should cut him some major slack, don't you? After all, there's now buzz that Robert Redford will play him in the movie: I Almost Told You So - The Marginalization of The Messiah.;-)
