I'm going to find a way to put that article on FR, or at least save it to my archived list of the connections between Iraq and AQ, which is here:

A lot of that article you posted, I had not known, including this:
Last week, authorities announced that they had killed four terrorist suspects, three of them reportedly Iraqis, in shoot-out in the Hashmi Shamali neighbourhood of Amman.
That thwarted attack in Jordan was the most frightening thing that's happened since 9/11, imo. It's a miracle it was stopped.
And the reporter makes the same connections a lot of us did. If Iraq does have WMD, just why was everyone connected with this story in Jordan getting their cash and WMD from Iraq? It's a major disconnect, which is why the newspapers have hidden the story, when they've published it at all.
Thank you so much for finding that and sending it, WmShirer.
You're welcome.
Thanks again for your reply and posting(below from another thread) the quote of Congress's resolution about Al Qaida and terrorist being in Iraq pre Iraq War.

Just look at the first paragraph I posted below from the Resolution:
Whereas members of al Qaida, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq; Whereas Iraq continues to aid and harbor other international terrorist organizations, including organizations that threaten the lives and safety of United States citizens;
Whereas the attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001, underscored the gravity of the threat posed by the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction by international terrorist organizations;
Whereas Iraq's demonstrated capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction, the risk that the current Iraqi regime will either employ those weapons to launch a surprise attack against the United States or its Armed Forces or provide them to international terrorists who would do so, and the extreme magnitude of harm that would result to the United States and its citizens from such an attack, combine to justify action by the United States to defend itself;
