Wasn't there some doc, a national intelligence estimate or some such thing, that the Toon admin handed to the Bush admin on the way out in 2000 that mentioned Bin Laden only two or three times?

Four times, and al Qaeda zero times.

Richard Clarke states in his book that there was no plan handed over to the Bush Administration from Clinton and Clinton says that Clarke is the oracle on terror.

You mean that "comprehensive plan" Clinton mentioned yesterday that he basically admitted was a failed plan? And in the next breath criticized the Bush administration for demoting Clarke, who was a part of this failed policy?

FLASHBACK (from article in 2004 about the Clintonistas nearly forgetting about Bin Laden and Al Qaeda when they submitted their final national security report to Congress in Dec. 2000):

"The final policy paper on national security that President Clinton submitted to Congress — 45,000 words long — 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."

Richard Clarkes ONLY breifing to President Bush was on the dangers of Cyber terrorism. He was obsessive about it. Clinton isn't the only one trying to rewrite history
