She answered, "Well, the best I know is David Watkins and Mark McLarty, I assume, based on what I have learned since and read in the newspapers." The lawyers asked if Clinton had any role in the firings. "No, I did not," she said. They asked whether she "had any input with either Mr. McLarty or Mr. Watkins as to that decision." She answered, "I don't believe I did, no." The First Lady's statements, under oath, were patently false. And indeed,...

Clinton pointedly refuted several fictionalized scenes that he claims insinuate he was too distracted by the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal to care about bin Laden and that a top adviser pulled the plug on CIA operatives who were just moments away from bagging the terror master, according to a letter to ABC boss Bob Iger obtained by The Post.

There's just over a week to go until New York's September twelfth primaries. You wouldn't know it by the number of debates.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, facing a Democratic primary challenge from anti-Iraq war activist Jonathan Tasini, has so far refused his pleas for any such showdown. Meanwhile, state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who is battling Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi for the Democratic nomination for governor, has participated in just one face-to-face debate.
