And Glenn Reynolds, at instapundit, reasonably and accurately sums the controversy up well,
Before 9/11 -- and what we learned afterward -- I agreed with the basic strategy of trying to contain Islamist terror until it collapsed under the weight of its own stupidity. That was before I realized how widespread it was, and how thoroughly intertwined with hostile states it was. I don't fault the Clinton people for not catching on before I did.
But I do fault the people who are peddling the absurd story that Clinton had this terror thing under control until Bush screwed it up. That's partisan twaddle, and a real disservice in time of war.
And as Jay Reding points out, it's rich that Sandy "the Burglar" Berger is front and center in trying to suppress this mini-series . . . the guy was willing to commit a federal crime to cover-up the facts about 9/11.
