CLINTON WHITE HOUSE LAWYERS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT BIN LADENS COMFORT THAN CAPTURE

Because of White House lawyers and foot dragging by the Clinton White House there were 8 to 10 chances to capture and/or kill Osama Bin Laden in the latter 90's. White House lawyers were more concerned with the comfort of Bin Laden after capture than actually capturing him. These lawyers actually had the CIA build an ergonomically designed chair for his comfort when shackled and were concerned about using tape that would protect his beard. This combined with White House foot dragging made for the missed opportunities during the Clinton years. In a related story, (http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/19/taliban.documents/index.html ), the Clinton White House actually NEGOTIATED with the Taliban in 1998 for Bin Laden to be expelled from Afghanistan or assassinated. The Taliban government was more interested in condemning the the Clinton Administration for the Afghan cruise missile attacks and protecting Bin Laden. What irritates me most about this is that it has been a long standing policy in The United States that we do not negotiate with terrorists. Yet because of the Clinton Administration seeing Bin Laden as a responsibility for the courts rather than one who committed acts of war against the US negotiations and criminal prosecution were their answers! These revelations along with the Able Danger intel create a scenario of denial and bungling by the Clinton White House which made 9/11 a reality rather than a thwarted plan which it should have been had action been taken in 2000 or the late 90's as this information clearly reveals WAS possible!
