Federal appellate Judge Gilbert S. Merritt of Nashville is in Iraq as one of 13 experts selected by the U.S. Justice Department to help rebuild Iraq's judicial system.

Through an unusual set of circumstances, I have been given documentary evidence of the names and positions of the 600 closest people in Iraq to Saddam Hussein, as well as his ongoing relationship with Osama bin Laden.

How would you know who to contact to complain about the lying politicians, Media Bias, Hollyweirds latest mouth off, sponsors of these idiots, company policies that are unfair and all the other things we need to know to counteract the liberal mindset and the evil plans of liberals?

How would you be part of a Freep?

What would you do without FR????

Freedom isn’t free.

How could we not have someone on payroll (CIA) in Baghdad who would have grabbed this at the time? If there's one copy of this "proof" (which it could very well be), there's gotta be more.

The document shows that an Iraqi intelligence officer, Abid Al-Karim Muhamed Aswod, assigned to the Iraq embassy in Pakistan, is ''responsible for the coordination of activities with the Osama bin Laden group.''

Halfway down the middle column is written: ''Abid Al-Karim Muhamed Aswod, intelligence officer responsible for the coordination of activities with the Osama bin Laden group at the Iraqi embassy in Pakistan

Smoking gun ping.

This also verifies one of Powell's claims that the UN, namely that the coordination between Iraq and al-Qaeda was handled by the Iraqi Embassy in Islamabad.

Very interesting...

It almost makes sense. Iraq and al-Qaeda recruit dissident Saudis for 9/11, and as a result, it causes tension between us and the Saudis.

Looks like a blockbuster, but sounds way too convenient. I hope the documentation will be thoroughly examined to make sure it's not a forgery that just says what we want to hear, but rather is a set of authentic intelligence documents...

The truth will out. The anthrax, the Iraqi connection - all of it. And the Dems will be left looking, why, just like Ann Coulter describes them in Treason - looking like the America hating crowd they are.

Well, went to the website, story appears to have come from the archive. Wonder why the heck it didn't get any attention?

Such a silly question in today's world with the left wing mediots in charge of most of the media in the USA.

They prefer to print complete lies like the one that William McKinley pointed out this week instead of the truth.
