The Washington Post said Saturday that a top-secret briefing memo presented to President Bush in 1998 focused on efforts by Osama bin Laden to strike at targets in the U.S.

With all due respects, the original article did not say "President Bush," but rather, "the President." They conveniently leave out Clinton's name so that the association is with Bush.

Can anyone say: "media bias????"

Actually, the original report stated exactly what I cut-n-pasted. They have since changed it to what's on the page now. I'm still digging around to see if they've archived it anywhere.

With allllll due respect the original article, which has now been corrected, did indeed refer to President Bush in 1998...........

Perhaps the media could use an intellegence department. They certainly don't seem to have any!

This whole thing is Media Bias On Parade! There was a long LA Times article today that explained about the 1999 information, and it never mentioned who the president was at the time. (If it had been Bush, they would have said the name so often it would sound like Monty Python's Spam sketch!). On LA's KFI radio today, the news (taken from wire services, certainly) went out of its way to say the Executive Branch knew about it in 1999 - the word Clinton never was uttered.
