Default ( OT ) U.S. Made Effort to Stop al-Qaida in 1998

Not complimentary to either Clinton or Bush

Extract

The Clinton administration had early indications of terrorist links to
Osama bin Laden and future Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as
early as 1995, but let years pass as it pursued criminal indictments and
diplomatic solutions to subduing them abroad, the commission's report said.

Bush officials, meanwhile, failed to act immediately on increasing
intelligence chatter and urgent warnings in early 2001 by its
counterterrorism adviser, Richard A. Clarke, to take out al-Qaida
targets, according to preliminary findings by the commission reviewing
the attacks.
