When I was growing up, Lugar was a neighbor. I have always liked him and his wife. I have been a defender of his for a long time--not any more. He is a good argument for term limits.
You're more than welcome, ScaniaBoy.
That Prague connection is perplexing because they stand by their intelligence that Atta was there. Yet Atta's cell phone was used in the US a few days prior to his being seen in Prague, which could be easily explained. The CIA seems to be divided on this matter so we'll probably never know.
Anyway, interesting connections between the 9/11 hijackers and anthrax...
I personally think we are dealing with someone who is getting a bit too old for his position, and cannot think strategically anymore. I's a shame, but I hope he retires after this term. I would like him to retire rather than to be beaten in a primary, as I am certain that there are people looking for someone to run against him after this episode.
Old Media won't touch it; hope the administration does though.
Bookmarking to read and study tomorrow.
That photo was taken in APRIL 2003.... I remember it from during the early days of the war. (i.e., it was not taken in September as the author indicates it MAY have been taken.)
The thing that's more germane about the early 90's docs is that they demonstrate links to OBL.
The English translations of these documents, and their ramifications, are chilling.
Particularly the lists of trained terrorists... which include in their "resumes" indications of terrorist actions they participated in.
"The graveness of this current election requires that we ignore these documents. Please remember to place your loyalty to John Kerry above loyalty to journalistic ethics. Thank you. "
--Mark Halperin, ABC News.
Also, just because CBS only has access to docs referencing the early 1990's doesn't mean our Gov't / Military intelligence doesn't have docs that indicate more current and/or more dangerous information.
I've always believed our intelligence services know 100 times more than what the MSM knows, and I want to keep it that way. When our President says we need to go to war because of intelligence info, I trust that he knows things I don't know. And I wouldn't have it any other way, despite the MSM's belief that they are entitled to know everything about everything.
And for the next debate, I WISH President Bush would state that every other intelligence agency in the world thought Saddam had WMD, not just ours. When he says "my opponent read the same intelligence I did and he thought Saddam had WMD" - I wish he would remind the TV audience that it wasn't JUST THE UNITED STATES (i.e., not just George W. Bush) who thought Saddam had WMD. No one can fault GWB specifically for the same intelligence all the other countries' intelligence agencies had.
America is a headline nation. Half the news printed has a headline that contradicts the article.
"The Deufler report indicates that, among other things, in the late 90's, early part of this century, Saddam was testing WMD's on human beings, and also was trying to bribe UN inspectors."

I was speculatin' that with a need for 20+ no-fail suiciders, a little added "incentive' and "focus" might have been provided by Mr. Atta if he intentionally infected his partners, making their choice death by anthrax or death by "glorious" cataclysm.
I hope these are real, but if they are, and were in the possession of the government, then why in the world did they not put these out to the public themselves? Or is this supposed to be the October surprise?
The original article says it is likely the Bush administration is unaware of these docs because of the swarm of documents they are wading through; this just happened to be caught by the source if he is telling the truth. We have got to get these sent to people in the know!
