You are wise to be a little sceptical, because (I think) NewsMax is loony fringe -- Clinton dealing cocaine -- right wing.
We'll have to see how/if this plays out. Who is this "Ijaz" cat ? Makes himself sound like James Bond crossed with Lawrence of Arabia. Since he'd negotiated all these deals, why didn't he just go to Sudan and take care of business?
On the Clinton "admission" -- Ok, if so, WTF could the U.S. have done with bin Laden in 1996? Perhaps in hindsight we "should" have agreed to take him into custody (if Sudan could have delivered him), and then dropped him out of a plane over the Atlantic, but we as a nation have decided as a general rule not to operate that way.
