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.

Please explain.

BTW, if you follow the trail, Iraqis used Kuwaiti identity as a cover ... just a thought.
"By now it should be clear that the World Trade Center bomber's real name is probably neither Ramzi Yousef nor Abdul BasitAfter all, would someone intending to blow up New York's tallest tower go to such trouble to get a passport under his own name? Yousef was a man of many passports; he had three on his person when he was arrested in Pakistan. Rather, it seems that Ramzi Yousef risked going to the Pakistani consulate with such flimsy documents because he wanted investigators to conclude that he was in fact Abdul Basit, and so would stop trying to determine his real identity. And that is pretty much what happened. ."


"...
What does all this suggest? To me it suggests that Abdul Basit and his family were in Kuwait when Iraq invaded in August 1990; that they probably died then; and that Iraqi intelligence then tampered with their files to create an alternative identity for Ramzi Yousef. Clearly, only Iraq could reasonably have: 1) known of, or caused, the death of Abdul Basit and his family; 2) tampered with Kuwait's Interior Ministry files, above all switching the fingerprint cards; and 3) filched the files on Abdul Basit and his family from the Pakistani embassy in Kuwait. "

So this identity was a cover ... cretaed by Iraqi intel.

I don't buy your facile explanation that Iraqi intelligence would be "stupid" to have one of its agents enter the US on an Iraqi passport. Maybe that is exactly what they thought we would deduce, so why not do the unexpected. I found it interesting that the first place Yousef went when he arrived in the US was to go to the apartment of an Iraqi, Musab Yasin. You also must remember that we were offering many Iraqis asylum in the US after the Gulf War. Many of them were on the Saudi/Iraqi border awaiting processing by US officials. Moreover, Ramzi Yousef, or whatever his real name is, was described as a man of many passports."

I found Mylorie's description of how Yousef assumed Basit' s identity to be the most interesting and compelling. Given all of the hoops that they had to go through including back in Kuwait, this had to be the work of a nation state and not a terrorist group like Al-Qaeda. The resources and coordination to pull it off would have to belong to Iraq--if indeed, this is what happened.
