Dana Rohrabacher, Cretinous Asshole Digby notes that Dana Rohrabacher is once more blaming the Clinton administration for the Taliban and al Qaeda. As Digby points out, Rohrabacher is one of the most lyin' SOB's one can imagine, especially considering his long and cozy relationship with Islamic extremist, particularly Bin Laden's associates throughout his early political career.
Federal documents reviewed by the Weekly show that Rohrabacher maintained a cordial, behind-the-scenes relationship with Osama bin Laden’s associates in the Middle East—even while he mouthed his most severe anti-Taliban comments at public forums across the U.S. There’s worse: despite the federal Logan Act ban on unauthorized individual attempts to conduct American foreign policy, the congressman dangerously acted as a self-appointed secretary of state, constructing what foreign-affairs experts call a "dual tract" policy with the Taliban.
