Despite your conspiracy theories, Oblivion, it's not so simple that you can ascribe blame to President Clinton. The FBI was set up to PROSECUTE people, while the CIA was set up to gather all pertinent evidence. A lot of evidence the CIA relies on is not admissible in court -- so it would have been no use to the FBI under the old model. Accordingly, the FBI would not rely on such information, even though it may have been accurate. It's a much bigger issue to tackle than just saying Clinton screwed it up -- which, he did not. As support for it not being really Clinton's fault, I'll cite President GWB, who often refers to his "predecessor's" efforts, and has not once slighted them. Neither has Cheney, and he is the current "pulpit" and "big mouth" of the party, so he would have cited such Democrud problems if he could.
