My mother is a TV news junkie. She watches the PBS Lehrer news program faithfully every night, plus often ABC as well. And she watches the talking heads every Sunday morning.

I had a phone conversation with her yesterday afternoon, after she had watched the Sunday morning talking heads. I asked her if any program she had ever listened to had even mentioned the charge that the Clinton Administration had turned down Sudan's offer to give us intelligence on bin Laden. Her answer was no.
