John Kerry is becoming my hero.

Really, I have nothing to add to this one.

John Kerry on Kos.

Here’s what I’d like to see debated on Hardball.

President Bush’s mouthpiece Scott McClellan can claim this administration puts terrorists out of business, but yesterday’s tape reminds us that instead of being out of business, Osama is still out there.

If this administration had followed through on the opportunity to capture Osama Bin Laden at Tora Bora in 2001, the world would be a better place with Osama Bin Laden brought to justice — and we wouldn’t be having this discussion today.

And here’s what the media should insist we discuss.

President Bush and his defenders continue to claim that Osama Bin Laden didn’t escape at Tora Bora. But Gary Bernstein’s book Jawbreaker documents what I said early in 2002 and during my debates with George Bush: that because Donald Rumsfeld’s Pentagon didn’t use American troops to do the job and instead outsourced the job of killing the world’s #1 terrorist to Afghan warlords, this cold blooded killer got away.
