While the show of President Clinton going paranoid during a Fox news interview may be further evidence of his character (or lack thereof), there is danger that it will draw attention away from something more important. Could President Clinton have captured bin Laden and prevented 9/11? In the bigger picture, it doesn't matter. 9/11 was a symptom, not the disease. Capturing bin Laden might have stopped that specific attack on the United States, but some other jihadist would have made some other attack. The desire to kill "infidels" (aka innocent non-Muslims) in the "Great Satan" would eventually have led to something similar or even worse on some other date.
It is possible that President Clinton actually did us a long-term favor by not capturing bin Laden. This failure is one of the evidences that people like Bill Clinton, or those even further left in the Democratic party, can't be trusted with the security of this country.
