President Bill Clinton “had effectively signed bin Laden’s death warrant. The proof was in a one-page document found by the commission…in the files of the National Archives in the late spring of 2004…This MON [Memorandum of Notification], sent by [National Security Advisor] Sandy Berger to Clinton on Christmas Eve 1998, gave the CIA authority to kill Osama bin Laden.”
