How can you get a reporter to ask Allawi the question again? Can you call his office and get a statement?

I've never doubted a relationship existed, to what extent was my only open question.
Things are becoming very clear a little more than a year after the start of the war.
- The UN was on the take; the lifting of sanctions was more probable than the enforcing of them.
- WMD's and banned Conventional weapons (and programs to develop them) did exist.
- Iraq and Al-Queda did work together.
Saddam was a terrorist, Saddam did not comply with the original disarmament resolution, Saddam wished to inflict pain on the US and its citizens.
How can anyone be surprised, all the indications were there prior to the invasion.

Terrorist behind September 11 strike was trained by Saddam By Con Coughlin
(Filed: 14/12/2003)
Iraq's coalition government claims that it has uncovered documentary proof that Mohammed Atta, the al-Qaeda mastermind of the September 11 attacks against the US, was trained in Baghdad by Abu Nidal, the notorious Palestinian terrorist.
Details of Atta's visit to the Iraqi capital in the summer of 2001, just weeks before he launched the most devastating terrorist attack in US history, are contained in a top secret memo written to Saddam Hussein, the then Iraqi president, by Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti, the former head of the Iraqi Intelligence Service.
The handwritten memo, a copy of which has been obtained exclusively by the Telegraph, is dated July 1, 2001 and provides a short resume of a three-day "work programme" Atta had undertaken at Abu Nidal's base in Baghdad.
In the memo, Habbush reports that Atta "displayed extraordinary effort" and demonstrated his ability to lead the team that would be "responsible for attacking the targets that we have agreed to destroy".
The second part of the memo, which is headed "Niger Shipment", contains a report about an unspecified shipment - believed to be uranium - that it says has been transported to Iraq via Libya and Syria.
Although Iraqi officials refused to disclose how and where they had obtained the document, Dr Ayad Allawi, a member of Iraq's ruling seven-man Presidential Committee, said the document was genuine.
"We are uncovering evidence all the time of Saddam's involvement with al-Qaeda," he said. "But this is the most compelling piece of evidence that we have found so far. It shows that not only did Saddam have contacts with al-Qaeda, he had contact with those responsible for the September 11 attacks."
Although Atta is believed to have been resident in Florida in the summer of 2001, he is known to have used more than a dozen aliases, and intelligence experts believe he could easily have slipped out of the US to visit Iraq.
Abu Nidal, who was responsible for the failed assassination of the Israeli ambassador to London in 1982, was based in Baghdad for more than two decades.

it won't be a story unless Bush himself makes the case Exactly my point, unless Bush brings this to the voters it will never be revealed and the average american voter will vote for Kerry just because......

Thanks for the clarification, Carl. The "tuesday" statement was confusing, leading me to believe that Allawi had repeated his assertions this week. It would be great if Allawi is asked about it again now that he is acting head of Iraq...it would carry great weight.

I saw this yesterday. I just gave up. It reminds me of the Black Knight in the Holy Grail -- "OK, we'll call it a draw."
