Jeanine Pirro: Hillary Soft on Terror
New York U.S. Senate hopeful Jeanine Pirro is attacking 2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for being soft on terror during her Senate career as well as the eight years she served as co-president with husband Bill Clinton. "Hillary claims to be tough on terrorism, yet she voted against a bill to add 2,000 new border patrol agents," Pirro said in a fundraising letter mailed on Thursday. "And rather than get tough on North Korea's Kim Jong II who is actively pursuing nuclear weapons, Hillary pushed for a massive aid 'appeasement' package for North Korea." "It didn't work for Bill Clinton when he was president - it certainly won't work now," the Westchester Republican added.

If Pirro continues to pound away at the Clintons' terrorism record, other targets could include: Bill Clinton's decision to turn down a Sudanese offer to arrest Osama bin Laden five years before the 9/11 attacks. The decision by Clinton adminstration lawyers to block the FBI from being briefed on intelligence that had identified Mohamed Atta and three other 9/11 hijackers as terrorist threats. An NBC News report last year that pinpointed several opportunites to kill bin Laden in the late 1990s that were passed up by the Clinton administration. The role played by Hillary-appointee, former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick in erecting "The Wall" of separation that blocked intelligence sharing between the FBI and the CIA. A report from former CIA bin Laden desk chief Michael Scheuer that Clinton laywers stymied attempts to capture the al Qaeda mastermind by insisting that the agency provide him with a special ergonomically designed chair and non-irritating tape to hold him. Mr. Clinton's pardon of more than a dozen FALN terrorists in a blatant bid to win votes for his wife's first Senate campaign. Mrs. Clinton's continuing reliance on convicted national security document thief Sandy Berger as a campaign advisor. Mrs. Clinton's call to reign in military recruiters, who she accused of racial profiling and invading the privacy of high school students who might want to join the service. Editor's note:
