AFP running the story now.

AFP notes Newsweek's skepticism, but neither Newsweek -- which is carrying the DNC's water -- nor AFP have been able to discredit the report.

I'm sure someone will correct me, but this is such horrid logic it makes me nauseous. (I think it's a false modus ponens? Whatever....it's wrong!)

The top secret memo, dated October 23, 2003, detailed intelligence on contacts between the Iraqi government and al-Qaeda over the past decade.......
And on September 17 this year, President George W. Bush himself admitted that there were no known links. "We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September the 11th," Bush said.

B does NOT imply A!!! The two statements are totally consistent, yet they are written up as mutually exclusive.

The Newsweak article has already been shredded by a followup article in the Weekly Standard, posted here yesterday. It's the usual non sequiturs and lies.

Naturally Agence France Presse shares Chirac's devotion to Saddam Hussein and his (now lost) moneybags.
