While Saddam may not have planned or organized the attack on America, he was certainly well known for wanting to attack America .. and evidence has supported the fact that Saddam helped train and finance the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11.
It provides clear evidence of link between Saddam and Al Qaeda, before 9-11-01

It provides clear evidence of link between Saddam and Al Qaeda, before 9-11-01
Nevertheless, talk amongst ourselves here at FR, talk radio, and the blogosphere is probably going to be the extent of the discussion of it. Such is the Bush Admin's ineptitude in providing good news about itself.

It is an Italian News Agency, in case anyone wonders. So it's legit news.
Abu Nidal was a suicide.
It was like 5 shots to the back of the head from his own hand.
That Saddam was connected to Al Qaeda is no longer in doubt. The only question is whether he was Bin Ladin's enabler, or whether he in fact pulled the trigger.
We all know there was a clear and documented relationship pre 9/11 and yet Gen. Hayden during his confirmation hearing said he didn't agree with Feifs (sp?) assessment that there was a relationship. I was pretty disgusted. The administration has given up on trying to confirm the accuracy of their assessments of why we went to war with the mistaken belief that it's no longer important.
To: Khan Noonian Singh; piasa; cyncooper; Allan; MitchellThe right question is: Who other than al-Ani did Atta meet with in Praha?
Or maybe Al Ani is a red herring, Atta met with someone else. Search "Hijazi". Remember the story of the Iraqi "ambassador" to Turkey???
NEW YORK, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- The ringleader of the 19 hijackers from the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Mohamed Atta, met twice with Iraq intelligence operatives in Prague, in June 2000 and then again last April, Newsweek reports in the current issue. The second meeting was with Farouk Hijazi, Iraq's ambassador to Turkey, who was called back to Baghdad before Sept. 11. One intelligence source called the two meetings interesting, but still far from proof of Iraqi involvement in the plot, Newsweek reports.87 posted on 06/18/2004 9:58:11 AM PDT by Shermy

"Allawi said this a year ago -- I don't recall reading any of this in the MSM."
Even if not new, worth repeating.

The MSM will never cover this.
They are too busy lying about President Bush like the USA Yesterday phoney baloney story of the telephone companies selling/giving their data to NSA.
My office mate needs to see this ... as followup to a discussion we had yesterday.
Something we've all known bump
