Newsmax.com appears to assert that Clinton missed out on opportunities to capture Osama Bin Laden. You can read their position in their <a href="http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/12/5/153637.shtml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">archives.</a> They have archived audio tape <a href="http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/9/10/181819.shtml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a> and they opine that Lewinsky played a role and it appears that they stand by their argument. FactCheck.org originally contended that Bill Clinton did indeed pass up a chance to get OBL in 1996 when he was a guest of the government of Sudan. However there is contradictory testimony from several qualified sources, including contradictory testimony from Bill Clinton himself. FactCheck makes a valid point that <i>at the time</i> the US did <i>not</i> have enough evidence against OBL to secure an indictment. You can read their excellent discussion of this question and examine their supporting documents <a href="http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_bill_clinton_pass_up_a_chance_1.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here.</a> @Ed Darrell Mr. Darrell asks an excellent question, one that has been disputed for some time now.

The truth is that Clinton had a program intended to capture or kill bin Laden. George W. Bush killed that program on January 22, 2001. That was after Bush avoided the briefing on the get-bin Laden program for more than three months. When was Clinton offered bin Laden?
