Mansoor Ijaz on Clinton & Intelligence on National Review Online

Ijaz details the timeline of Sudan/US intelligence relations, and just how many opportunities were missed by Clinton officials. Ijaz refers to matters being "politicized" but doesn't exactly explain. I took it to refer to the problems with refusing to deal with regimes with human-rights problems on any level - and the human intelligence sacrifices this caused.
I'm not for helping regimes like Sudan out in any way, but if you can get something out of them without (or with a minor) a quid pro quo, why the hell not?
