I don't know why the Bush administration has not done more to connect WTC One to the Iraqis. Mylorie's detailed description of the linkage is very compelling. The Government should be able to verify the facts fairly easily. Why haven't they?

Perhaps the Bush administration is aware that Yousef entering on an Iraqi passport could have been bin Laden's way of trying to implicate Saddam. The sinkEmperor administration worked very hard over their eight years in power to ignore and suppress truth regarding the al Qaeda/bin Laden dangers to this nation. I've read Mylorie's indictment, but no one seems willing to ask 'How stupid is it to enter this nation on a passport from the nation you intend to serve in espionage?' Deniability is the number one thing Saddam has sought to hold in ALL the terrorist actions with which he's been involved. Salman Pak is a far more damning connection of Saddam to terrorist organizations than the 1993 WTC bombing.

Good piece! The author's strange name is Mylroie , always a challenge to spell and pronounce.

Because it makes Bush Sr. look bad for:

A) stumbling into the Gulf War and setting Saddam off in the first place and,

B) not taking care of business in 1991.

I don't know why the Bush administration has not done more to connect WTC One to the Iraqis.

In fact, if you're paying attention, the administration has gone out of its way to prevent people from making that obvious connection. The author of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed ("KSM"), is directly linked to Ramzi Yousef/Abdul Basit: supposedly, he is the brother of Yousef's mother. Despite the fact that Mohammed is a bigger fish than bin Laden we hardly ever hear about KSM. This is even more surprising when you consider that "KSM" lived for several years in the United States, a fact which somehow, amazingly, failed to come out for a whole year after 9/11. Apparently, the CIA also stubbornly refused to reveal anything about what they know about KSM to a congressional inquiry into 9/11 (see CRISIS IN ACCOUNTABILITY, by Notra Trulock).

So, what is going on here? Can you think of other instances pertaining to 9/11 where it is clear that the government knows more than it is letting on? I can. The government clearly knows more about the anthrax than they have been willing to tell us. Indeed, they have even developed a cover story to distract attention from that fact, as you can easily verify by looking at the timeline of the 10/17/01 NSC discussion of the anthrax documented in Bush at War and the emergence of the "domestic terrorism" stall. Another example would be the question of Mohammed Atta's visits to Prague and his reported rendezvous with an Iraqi agent, Ahmed al-Ani. This was first reported as a simple fact a few weeks after 9/11, and has been repeatedly affirmed by the White House and the Czech authorities ever since, despite a slew of mutually contradictory "debunkings" in various left-wing media. Yet, the question of the meeting has never been squarely bought to the fore by the White House. Why?

What is the link here? The link is that, if the truth about KSM, or the anthrax, or Atta and al-Ani, were clear to the public, then the "big picture" would quickly fall into place. The "big picture" is that 9/11 was an act of war against the United States by Iraq, and Saddam's back-end security -- his threat to anthrax the US population -- is terrifyingly credible, which is why the US is still in no position to name names and retaliate. KSM, al-Ani and the anthrax are each, independently, keys that unlock the whole puzzle, and, for the time being, that is something that cannot be allowed to happen. Expect three fingers to remain firmly plugged in those three dikes for the foreseeable future.

On a personal note....I was working a few blocks downtown from the Trade Center and was on my way to a 12:15 lunch appointment at the Hotel in the WTC when the bomb went off. I was just across the street and was rocked by it but not hurt. My companion and I, both native NYers in out forties, both immediately thought that road salt had leaked into one of the PATH transformers. I remember the scene vividly. Up to that point we had no reason to suspect anything else could have caused the explosion....of course all that changed for us that day....as it did for the rest of us eight years later.

What makes you think that isn't the reason behind the war? There could be all kinds of reasons not to display the evidence right now.
