HEY HYPORATS . . .

STUFF YOUR TRAITOROUS COMMENTS

in each of your available orifi.

For my money, you should print them on card stock, first.

Seems like the memos from the Dems have left the CIA not wanting to be dragged down in that quagmire and they are finnaaallllyyy 'ready' to release their findings. This is a good thing.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

And the reason this is in NewsMax and not mainstream media is ...

There is a report on foxnews.com that I just read.

[Valin]

Got it bookmarked. Thanks guy!

[MarkT]

Five will get you ten that they do not do it - if they do do it, they will quote unamed CIA sources saying that the report is a fraud and then Wilson will trot out to confirm that it is a fraud.

I think you will not see Drudge pushing stories into the mainstream media any more.

[SCHROLL]

There was one earlier (Wednesday I think) detailing contacts between Al Qeada and Saddam that had been going on since the mid 1990's.

Yes, where is the Drudge banner? Come on, Matt. I know it is Saturday but get you butt out of bed.

What I am most puzzled over is how the administration seems to downplay the sigificance of these findings. Newsmax.com has also been reporting the aparent connection between 911 & Salman Pak in which it appears that there was an Iraqi training school for the sort of terrorist attack that was used on September 11 2001. One would think that the administration would be pointing out this connection.

what's up with those eyes of his?

I say this in all seriousness. I find him utterly creepy.

[Paul Atreides]

I'm more disturbed by the tie.

[EggsAckley]

Heheheh. His eyes just really creep me out.

[EggsAckley]

You're right. Looking at that tie makes my eyes start feeling like his look.

To be totally honest, NewsMax is blowing it up a bit out of proportion. The memo -does- pretty much irrefutably prove the link between Iraq and Al Qaeda in general. It can definetly be considered a "smoking gun" in that sense.

But it still does not prove an Iraq-9/11 link beyond a shadow of doubt. Newsmax is trying to make it sound more like that than either the NY Post or Weekly Standard are willing to. Newsmax has a habit of being sensationalist that way.

Now don't get me wrong. I do very much believe Iraq -did- have something to do with 9/11, I think there's plenty of circumstantial evidence, enough to hold up in a civil case. But "beyond a reasonable doubt"? No, I don't think so yet.

I do think think this evidence does make anyone who tries to say "there was NO link between Iraq and 9/11" look even more foolish than someone who claims there is though. The circumstantial evidence points more to it than away from it at this point.

Didn't the Senate Intellegence memo say they couldn't prove that any money actually got to him? Not that I beleive that, but that's what the dims will say.

[Paul Atreides]

Judging by the design, I would say that is his "for the children" tie. You know, to make him look all "sensitive" and "caring."
