I think Ryan is referring to the urban legend that Oliver North testified to
Congress that Osama Bin Laden was a clear and present danger to both himself
and his family.

This is not true. However, he did testify to that effect about Abu Nidal.

Yep.... they were KEENLY aware of Osama back in the Reagan administration
days..... believe it or not it goes back that far! Ole Ollie North
brought
it to that administrations attention and nothing was done.




Don't you know that neocons have no use for history? Better not remind
them
that the Reagan administration was using Osama for their own purposes,
then.
