Give it up Hannity.
Hard to belive that Hannity would choose to get his information from a Sudanese! Sudan was one of the most hard-core terrorist states in the world; not to mention a sanctuary, training base, and supporter for al Qaeda!!!! That Hannity would accept any information from a regime that his beloved do-no-wrong-take-no-responsibity-it's-Clinton's-fault Bush administration has kept Sudan on the terrorism list. They are on that list because Sudan has done nothing to end its domestic slave trade, and little to resolve its civil war that has killed over two million of its citizens. This shows Hannity's one scary freako.
Who the heck's side is Hannity on?
Comments by Richard Cressy and Gayle Smith on Richard Miniter's book "Losing Bin Laden:
First, Mr. Miniter recycles old, false Sudanese claims that the Clinton White House declined access to Sudan's intelligence files on al Qaeda and that an unnamed CIA official declined an offer from Sudan in 1996 to turn Osama bin Laden over to the United States. No one should believe these allegations by Mr. Miniter's source, Fateh Erwa - a Sudanese intelligence officer known for his penchant to deceive - that there was an offer to hand bin Laden over to the United States. Certainly, no offer was ever conveyed to any senior official in Washington. Had the Sudanese been serious about offering bin Laden to the United States, they could have communicated such an offer to any number of senior Clinton administration officials. It did not happen.
"Mr. Miniter also claims that Sudan repeatedly tried to provide voluminous intelligence files on bin Laden to the CIA, the FBI, and senior Clinton administration officials and would be "repeatedly rebuffed through both formal and informal channels." Absurd. In fact, it was precisely the other way around. On multiple occasions, and in venues ranging from Addis Ababa to Virginia, Washington, New York and Khartoum, the United States aggressively pressed the Sudanese to prove their alleged commitment to cooperating on terrorism, by severing their close ties with known terrorists, arresting specific individuals and providing specific intelligence information to us. Yet, despite frequent promises of cooperation, presumably in the hopes of getting off the terrorism list and out from under U.N. sanctions, the Sudanese consistently failed to deliver. This should come as no surprise, because Sudan in the mid-'90s was one of the most hard-core terrorist states in the world. Its fiercely militant leader, Hassan Turabi, turned Sudan into a sanctuary, training base and active supporter for a range of Islamic terrorist organizations, including al Qaeda."
