Rumsfeld decision let Bin Laden escape: report

Osama bin Laden was within the grasp of US forces in late 2001 and could have been caught if then-defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld hadn’t rejected calls for reinforcements, a hard-hitting US Senate report says.
The report indicates this happened about Dec. 2001, after 9/11, but before the start of the Iraq War.
With bin Laden dead, they would have had even less justification to invade Iraq. Contemptible war criminals, aren’t they?
