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.

You are totally right. I was looking at the same thing. Typical liberal twisted speak.
