From CBS News:
SMITH: I want to go back now to Michael Scheuer once again. Let's talk about what President Clinton had to say on Fox yesterday. He basically laid blame at the feet of the CIA and the FBI for not being able to certify or verify that Osama bin Laden was responsible for a number of different attacks. Does that ring true to you? Mr. MICHAEL SCHEUER (CBS News Terrorism Analyst): No, sir, I don't think so. The president seems to be able--the former president seems to be able to deny facts with impunity. Bin Laden is alive today because Mr. Clinton, Mr. Sandy Berger, and Mr. Richard Clarke refused to kill him. That's the bottom line. And every time he says what he says to Chris Wallace on Fox... SMITH: Mm-hmm. Mr. SCHEUER: ...he defames the CIA, especially, and the men and women who risked their lives to give his administration repeated chances to kill bin Laden. SMITH: All right, is the Bush administration any less responsible for not finishing the job in Tora Bora? Mr. SCHEUER: Oh, I think--I think there's plenty of blame to go around, sir, but the fact of the matter is that the Bush administration had one chance that they botched and the Clinton administration had eight to 10 chances that they refused to try. At least at Tora Bora our forces were on the ground. We didn't push the point. But it's just an incredible kind of situation for the American people over the weekend to hear their former president mislead them.
