MOSCOW. June 17 (Interfax) - A Russian intelligence source expressed skepticism on Thursday about conclusions drawn by the U.S. commission investigating the September 11 attacks. The source argued that the point that there is "no credible evidence" of any link between the Saddam Hussein regime and al-Qaeda attacks and other conclusions made by the commission failed to draw a comprehensive picture of what Iraq was like two years ago. "Separated from other elements of the Iraqi problem, the conclusions and generalizations that have been made cannot be recognized as objective," the source told Interfax. He said Russian intelligence services possessed no evidence of any links between Saddam and al-Qaeda either. However, he went on, Russian intelligence received a report early in 2002 that Iraqi secret services were organizing terrorist attacks on U.S. territory and against U.S. diplomatic and military facilities outside the United States. "This information was more than once passed on to our American partners in oral and written form in the fall of 2002," the source said. He expressed support for the position Russia took at the start of the U.S.-led war against Iraq but said that, "nevertheless, in investigating the causes of the Iraq crisis, it is necessary to take into account all the aspects, including the direct threat to the U.S. from the Saddam Hussein regime."

Yep. It's called Connect the Dots...

[mewzilla]

It's pretty bad when our own commission is more anti-American than the bloody Russians.

Haw! The Russians have a lot of experiance with lie's and liar's, they know them when they seem them.

[Madame Dufarge]

Well, well, well.

So then this means that the Russians are more supportive of our position than the Democrats?

[kimoajax]

It is getting pretty bad when what comes out of Russia has more veracity than come from our own "independent" and "non-partisan" investigating committee.

[plain talk]

That's what makes this so interesting. Russia was not supportive of our invasion of Iraq but these dems have gone to far out in left field that not only the Ruskies can stomach it. The Ruskies are triangulating between the administration and these dems. Incredible.

[Ditto]

So then this means that the Russians are more supportive of our position than the Democrats?

Makes sense. The Russians ain't commies anymore.

[Jaded]

Ya think? Anybody outside of the DNA, al-Quaeda, Hezbulla (hiswhatever), PLO, Hamas et al was skeptical of this report.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Ping.

[tiamat]

You know, it says a LOT when the Russians are being more co-operative and helpful to us thn many of our own citizens.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks it is quite obvious that the Gorelick controlled panel erected an Iron Curtain that prevented the panel from investigating anything that happened except on 9/11.

[Gator113]

Indeed!!!!!!!! If this keeps up, I could find myself loving the Russians!

[Madame Dufarge]

Russia was not supportive of our invasion of Iraq

You're right, this is interesting.

Russia at least had $ on the line, and though I don't sympathize with them, I can at least understand their position.

The only sentiment I can conjure up for the Democrats is "drawing and quartering."

Russian source skeptical about 9/11 panel's conclusions

Anyone with half a brain would be.

[The South Texan]

The ex-commies get it, but American Democrats and the press don't.

The world is upside down.

We live is strange times indeed.

[Diogenesis]

These Russians are not fools on this, like so many in the USA.

Who's Who on the 9/11 "Independent" Commission

---

"According to a 1998 Senate testimony of former CIA director James
Woolsey, powerful financier Khalid bin Mahfouz’ younger sister is
married to Osama bin Laden,. (US Senate, Senate Judiciary
Committee, Federal News Service, 3 Sept. 1998, See also Wayne
Madsen, Questionable Ties, In These Times,12 Nov. 2001 )
Bin Mahfouz is suspected to have funneled millions of dollars to the Al
Qaeda network.(See Tom Flocco, Scoop.co.nz 28 Aug. 2002)
Now, "by sheer coincidence", former New Jersey governor Thomas
Kean has business ties with bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi.
Thomas Kean is a director (and shareholder) of Amerada Hess
Corporation , which is involved in the Hess-Delta joint venture with
Delta Oil of Saudi Arabia (owned by the bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi
clans)...
Now you would think that being a business partner of the brother in
law and alleged financier of "Enemy No. 1" would also be considered a
bona fide "conflict of interest", particularly when your mandate --as
part of the 9/11 Commission's work-- is to investigate "Enemy No. 1".
"(Michel Chossudovsky, New Chairman of 9/11 Commission had
business ties with Osama's Brother in Law,
Centre for Research on Globalization, December 2002 )

Commissioner Kean: "Ms Gorelick is one of the finest members
of the commission and one of the most bipartisan members.
People ought to stay out of our business"
