WASHINGTON - While President Clinton was trying to broker an elusive peace between Israelis and Palestinians, the FBI was secretly funneling money to suspected Hamas figures to see if the militant group would use it for terrorist attacks, according to interviews and court documents.

If that ain't the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

The counterterrorism operation in 1998 and 1999 was run out of the FBI's Phoenix office in cooperation with Israeli intelligence and was approved by Attorney General Janet Reno, FBI officials told The Associated Press.

I guess it wasn't enough for Janet Reno to be responsible for the deaths of Branch Davidian children, she had to get the blood of some Israelis on her shaky-assed hands as well. If this doesn't EPITOMIZE the foreign policy IDIOCY of the Clinton Administration, I don't know what does...

[eureka!]

Next thing you know, they'll be saying that Clinton pardoned terrorists. *spit*

Is this the same office that had information that Middle Easterners were training at an aviation school in AZ? Is that why they weren't successful with counterterrorism?
