Bush passed on a chance to get Bin Laden in 2001?
Here's the WH press briefing from Feb. 21, 2001 that was referenced by Olbermann tonight. I'm still trying to track down the original report from India Globe.

Q - Ari, according to India Globe, the Taliban in Afghanistan, they have offered that they are ready to hand over Osama bin Laden to Saudi Arabia if the United States would drop its sanctions, and they have a kind of deal that they want to make with the United States. Do you have any comments?

MR. FLEISCHER: Let me take that and get back to you on that.
