If she makes Harman the head of the Intelligence Committee instead of Hastings, that will go a long way towards convincing me she's serious about dealing with corruption in government.

At best, Bin-laden may have gotten a pittance of CIA 2nd hand money via the Mujahadeen during the Soviet / Afghan war. Bin laden was already wealthy and there is no record of him ever receiving any U.S. training, even by proxy. Bin-laden was an active paricipant alongside a CIA backed force mean to drive out the Russians. He was not a stooge like lets say, Somoza or Mobutu. If you implicate Casey with something, try Iran Contra. There's plenty there that will stick. “Isn’t Casey the guy who armed and trained bin Laden as well?
