Overlooked and new testimony supports idea of al Qaeda presence in Saddam Hussein's Iraq

Regime of Terror ^ | 5-25-09 | Mark Eichenlaub

Over the past many months a number of interviews, documents, admissions and other revelations have come to light that continue to undermine the notion that al Qaeda and al Qaeda linked groups were not able to operate inside Iraq during the rule of Saddam Hussein. These findings match up with some of the older and overlooked reports on the hotly contested that may now deserve re-examination.

A study by The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point of al Qaeda documents deemed the "Sinjar Records" indicates that al Qaeda was, in fact, able to operate inside the country during the rule of the former regime. The center also has previously posted internal al Qaeda documents in which al Qaeda members revealed to one another that "some of them went to Saddam" likely in referrence to al Qaeda members fleeing Afghanistan to Iraq.

Journalism here,

I once turned in the SAME paper, at WSU, for a Journalism class and an English class.

Journalism paper came back marked up in red: my sentences were TOO long, and I did not use enough paragraphs.

English paper came back marked up in red: my sentences were TOO short, and I used too many paragraphs!

Hey, I understand.

I make lots of mistakes too, and for some reason it is easier to catch the mistakes of others than it is to catch your own!

I’m good Joseph

I just wish I had more time on my hands.

I would love to travel around and interview people for a documentary but I am finding my time to be very limited.

It is sad because we should really educate the public on all this information.

We need an Iraq truth tea party.

I have a feeling that Saddam WMD subject is going to come back again strongly on the political scene.

I would like to see a branch of The Heritage Foundation make sure that all this info is historically accurate.

[jveritas]

I hope they do.

[Marine_Uncle]

Thanks. Will bookmark for later reading.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks for the great info.

I bookmarked the links.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[ikez78]

glad everyone liked the piece, I’d also like to see Heritage help on this again. Maybe we can contact them.

[ikez78]

any reason you think that?

[ikez78]

no prob

[jveritas]

Some intelligence agencies may want to prove that they were not totally wrong on Saddam WMD regime in particular that they have been called liars by some politicians. I think that they may want to show the world that Saddam did not stop working on WMD programs even if he did not build the final WMD products.

This C-Span Washington Journal program with former Senator Bob Graham is a perfect example of how the lies of the Democrats are being perpetuated on WMD.
