So much for the argument that the likes of Bin Laden and Saddam had nothing in common and were not working together.

I've said it before, I'll say it a thousand times:

This can't be true because Saddam Is Secular whereas Islamist terrorists are Religious.

Can't be true. Just can't.

[Illbay]

How is this "the first hard link?"

What about the Ansar al-Islam training camps?

I realize the PLF training camp just uncovered wasn't "radical Islamist," but Palestinian Marxists (a fact that seems to elude many FReepers here), but Ansar al-Islam is "hard-linked" to al-Qa'ida.

The claims that Iraq had no evidence to terrorists was pretty much put to rest with the capture of Abu Abbas yesterday in Baghdad.

Those that still oppose what Britain, Australia, Poland, and the US did in Iraq are those who will never be convinced.

I haven't seen this report in the US media yet.

I'll check tomorrow's copy of the New York Times.

I'm sure it will be in there!

When they keep saying Saddam had no links to terrorists, how do they discount the money he paid to the families of the "suicide bombers?"

Seems to me that letting it be known that you are going to pay the family of a suicide bomber after he blows himself up is encouraging terrorism and in effect, a link to terrorism?

Anybody know why these actions weren't considered a "link"?

Well, what happened to our embassies in two African countries comes clearer.

Who says we are not at war with Islam? Who says that this is not a war between the philosophies of East and West?I say to the peoples of the West, it's time to wake up and see what time it is.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Methinks we're going to see a lot more of this. I would like to see ALL of these documents translated and posted on the internet. The world must know what has been going on here.

[laz17]

Nope, this can't be true. There is no link between Saddam and terrorism. This evidence was planted by the CIA. I know, because I have a satellite dish. I'll go on Fox & Friends and dispute these false allegations against Saddam and make a total buffoon out of Brian Kilmeade. And while I'm at it, I'll also rip O'Reilly a new one. When I wear my glasses, no one can possibly be a match for my towering intellect in any debate.

Don't count on the socialist media to make a big deal about this....

[GailA]

The UK papers are hitting them hard. Ours are still soft soaping all this stuff.

[harrowup]

The letter, dated April 2001, was signed: "Your Brother, Bekkah Abdul Nassir, Chief of Diplomacy ADF Forces".

Nassir offered to "vet, recruit and send youth to train for the jihad" at a centre in Baghdad, which he described as a "headquarters for international holy warrior network". It was not clear whether the centre was established.

"We should not allow the enemy to focus on Afghanistan and Iraq, but we should attack their international criminal forces inside every base," the letters said.
