Will this info (not the Prague meetings but the Intelligence Committee release) be picked up and confirmed by any other news media? Fox has it, but no one else in a Google news search.

But Newsweek's cover story on "Cheney's Long Path To War" has the following unsubstantiated statement:

as recently as Sept. 14, Cheney continued to leave the door open to Iraqi complicity. He brought up a report—widely discredited by U.S. intelligence officials—that 9/11 hijacker Muhammad Atta had met with an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague in April 2001.

I wonder if the Republicans on the intelligence committee are releaseing this CIA memo to counteract the Newsweek spin? I also wonder if spin on this will be the big fight on the Sunday morning shows?

"widely discredited by U.S. intelligence officials"

Are these the same officials who paid for Joe Wilson's trip and like to send money to Kerry's campaign?

I expect the media to bury this story. It's a good time to fire up some letters to the editor ...

"So the latest CIA memo shows that Saddam Hussein did in fact bankroll 9/11 hijackers and had a relationship with Al Quaeda going back to 1990.

Why is this not front-page news?"
