Where can I find a full transcript of Patty Murray’s speech where she said Osama Bin Laden had built schools, day-care centers, etc.? Or, a complete video of the whole speech?

She was talking at a high school so I don’t know if there is a transcript.

“In December 2002, Murray was speaking to another group of school kids in Vancouver, Wash., when she made comments that have been used by her opponents ever since.

Trying to explain why Osama bin Laden might be popular in the Arab world while Americans were not, she said he was “building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health-care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. We have not done that.”

Murray’s words sparked a fierce reaction from conservative and other critics who said she didn’t have her facts straight. Nethercutt uses video of the speech in his campaign and ridicules her thinking that bin Laden, an Islamic fundamentalist who believes women should not work outside the home, would have built day-care centers.

Murray has refused to retract her statements. “Could I have phrased it better? Of course, but I was riffing in front of a group of high-school students, and it has been taken and detailed. Is that fair to a politician who speaks to hundreds and hundreds of people? I don’t think so.”
