Satellite photos show Saddam’s base to train al-Qaeda terrorists

Jet fuselage at Iraq's Salman Park facility is used to hijackers (Space Imaging)
Rush Limbaugh released high-resolution satellite imagery today, on his website, of Iraq’s Salman Park terrorist training center.

This facility, which photographs show houses a full-scale jet fuselage, is used to train terrorists how to hijack civilian airliners, buses and trains, as well as assassination and kidnapping. Reports by defectors, including Sabah Khodada, who served as an administrator at the facility for six months, indicate that “this camp is specialized in exporting terrorism to the whole world.”

Not only did Iraq provide the training necessary to take control of airliners during flight, but some terrorists “were taken and trained to drive airplanes at the School of Aviation, north of Baghdad.”

Khodada concludes that Iraq had a hand in training some of the September 11 hijackers, arguing that “these kind of attacks must be, and have to be, organized by a capable state, such as Iraq.”

IS this the same Salman Pak that Israeli and British Intelligence have reported is not a prop for terrorist training but a vehicle used by Iraqi Intelligence for anti-terrorist training?

How is anti-terrorist training significantly different from terrorist training?

Don't doctors have to understand infection before they can understand the cure?

Why are fireman the most highly represented occupation among arsonists?

Don't the Arabs call us all terrorists anyway?

How are inane questions different from ridiculous, unsubstantiated statements meant to "strawman" the debate and cloud the issue?

They were dots, by way of little analogies, meant to be connected. Sorry if they were too opaque. The point is, people are saying a lot of things about this jetliner, we don't really know its purpose. In fact, everyone could be right.

Since I didn't put any words into your mouth, there is no possibility of a strawman. While technically, that wasn't what you were claiming, it's good to be clear on that matter.

Now, if you've got definitive information about the nature of all of the activities at Salman Pak, why don't you post it? The more, the merrier.
