See this blank page?

This one here, on CNN's site.

Well, Instapundit can fill in some of the blanks from the February 13, 1999 article for you.

But Blogs for Bush, which points to that entry, has even more from the same piece:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Osama bin Laden, the Saudi millionaire accused by the United States of plotting bomb attacks on two U.S. embassies in Africa, has left Afghanistan, Afghan sources said Saturday.

Bin Laden's whereabouts were not known, said the sources who declined to be identified. ...

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden, who openly supports Iraq against the Western powers.


Moreover, both quote- of all sources!- The Guardian as reporting during the same period:

Saddam Hussein's regime has opened talks with Osama bin Laden, bringing closer the threat of a terrorist attack using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, according to US intelligence sources and Iraqi opposition officials.

The key meeting took place in the Afghan mountains near Kandahar in late December. The Iraqi delegation was led by Farouk Hijazi, Baghdad's ambassador in Turkey and one of Saddam's most powerful secret policemen, who is thought to have offered Bin Laden asylum in Iraq.


The U.S. officials in question, of course, were appointed by a gentleman named Clinton, George W. Bush being at the time Governor of Texas.

Any questions, liberal media?

I have one: Why, CNN, is that page blank?
