Does what we know of Atta's chronology allow him to spend three weeks in Iraq in the summer of 2001?

I checked my timeline of the hijackers, and there is a period from July 18 (when Atta returned to the USA from Madrid, Spain) to August 6 (when he rented a car in Florida) when Atta's movements are not specifically accounted for. If there was a summer trip to Baghdad, it would have happened at this time.

This story is the bombshell of bombshells if true.

Read on in the thread. Angelus errare pointed out to me that Atta's stay in Iraq would have had to be before July 1, 2001 (because of the date of the document). And three weeks was the result of my hasty misreading -- Atta's stay was three days, which, taking travel time into account, I estimate would require five consecutive days unaccounted for.

Your timeline appears to leave Atta unaccounted for between May 13, 2001 and some unspecified date in June. During that period, he missed a court appearance, and a warrant was issued for him because of that failure to appear.
