ABC news is reporting that Janet Reno scotched an attempt to invade bin Laden's stronghold and arrest him in 1998. Interestingly, I saw a pretty bad movie about this on cable the other day. Add this to Clinton's refusal to take OBL from Sudan in 1996, and you see several missed opportunities to prevent 9\11. Conflict avoidance never solves the problem, it only postpones it and often makes it worse. But why would the same Reno pass on a blood thirsty terrorist with the stated desire to attack and destroy America, but say yes to an invasion of errant Seventh Day Adventists in Waco, Texas or snatching a Cuban boy from his family after saying you wouldn't? Maybe it is just plain old bad judgment.
