I am a lawyer. No, a notation saying that someone had a meeting with a "Hamburg student" isn't enough.

Right. It's not enough for a conviction in a court of law under our standards of jurisprudence.

That's irrelevant, of course.

For those who want to believe that somehow, a meeting between Mohammed Atta and a member of Iraqi intelligence proves that Saddam was behind 9/11, the level of evidence is irrelevant.

Let's assume for the sake of the argument that there was, indeed, one meeting. Let's say the men met, had tea, talked about what they had in common.

To extrapolate from this meeting that Saddam was the mastermind behind 9/11 is ludicrous. Just plain ludicrous.

Exactly right!

We are not talking about a court of law when weighting who and what countries pose a danger to us.

His previous actions certainly showed intent... in many areas!
