11. I sent this in as a reporting error
It was reported that Clinton refused the extradition of OBL from Sudan. In other words it 9/11 was all Clintons fault of course!

But in the 9/11 Commision report there is no mention of this! See page 62 and 63 which discusses why Bin Laden left Sudan. Also here is a link that further refutes your report: http://www.interventionmag.com/cms/index.php?name=News&...

excerpt from that link:
An investigative report in the Washington Post by Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon, “The Age of Sacred Terror,” contradicts the Republicans faulting Clinton. The Sudanese government offered to arrest Osama bin Laden and place him in Saudi custody. Not American custody. Barton Gellman of the Post reported on how the Clinton administration had tried to get the Saudis to accept custody of Bin Laden. But they refused. There was no offer to turn Bin Laden over to the U.S.

Let’s not forget that at this time Sudan had offered to help in the fight against terrorism, but only if the U.S. lifted the economic sanctions, imposed in response to their genocidal campaign against Christians in their country. Trying to get the sanctions lifted, Sudan repeatedly offered to share its intelligence about Islamic terrorists with the U.S. However, the FBI and the CIA concluded that Sudan was not providing anything useful on Bin Laden or al-Qaeda.
