Testing 1...2...3...

Let's see if the media can pass this test: This is the link to Newsweek's story confirming that the U.S. had the chance to get bin Laden at Tora Bora and didn't.

"But in a forthcoming book, the CIA field commander for the agency's Jawbreaker team at Tora Bora, Gary Berntsen, says he and other U.S. commanders did know that bin Laden was among the hundreds of fleeing Qaeda and Taliban members. Berntsen says he had definitive intelligence that bin Laden was holed up at Tora Bora—intelligence operatives had tracked him—and could have been caught. "He was there," Berntsen tells NEWSWEEK. Asked to comment on Berntsen's remarks, National Security Council spokesman Frederick Jones passed on 2004 statements from former CENTCOM commander Gen. Tommy Franks."

Remember how Bush said that Kerry was Monday-morning quarterbacking? Remember Tommy Franks saying that the story wasn't true? Well media...your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to report this story with the accompanying context to the election that was less than a year ago (can you believe it was less than a year ago? It feels like years since that election). Ticktock, we're waiting.
