I wonder if there is evidence that SH was involved with 911 if the media will still be concerned about him being kept comfortable?

[OXENinFLA]

[Principled]

No no no! Iraq has nothing to do with the WOT. Saddam just needs more time to organize his country. This was a family vendetta. Any documents found are forgeries designed to promote the legitamacy of the occupation. This is all about oil anyway.

eeeesh

TDIDS ?

Howie Dean: "Any such documentation was fabricated by the Bush administration. It's a bunch of lies, Lies, LIES, I TELL YOU!"

Oh! Great! Thx.

[OXENinFLA]

If ya'll get Boortz, he's talking about this now.

[b4its2late]

Absolutely.

[Piquaboy]

I am sure that this will be all over the media here in the states.

Sorry but this story sounds like a very cheap plant by the former opposition. AbuNidal was a washed up and very sick ex-terrorist. Why Atta would need anything from that guy is anybody's guess. I also find it kinda suspicious that the very same memo puportedly contained info on the Niger deal.

Sorry, but if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Sorry, but if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I heard something about this Niger deal yesterday on a news program. The people moving the Niger shipment all got cancer after they finished with job. Questions remain to be answered on this deal.

Hillary's behavior of late tells me that she's aware of some seriously strong links to Iraq, 9-11, and other terrorist sponsorship. Being on the senate intel committee she has gotten this info and is keeping a "distant from Bush" posture but "concerned over Iraq security" as well. She is witholding this info from the rat candidates in order to watch them self destruct as they dig deeper and deeper holes(spider)for themselves by badmouthing Bush.

There will be no mainstream reporting of any of this until Hillary says so, which will be right at that 90 days before election ban on election ads. She will be unquestionable on substance but buzzing in everyone's face.

documentary proof that Mohammed Atta, the al-Qaeda mastermind of the September 11 attacks against the US, was trained in Baghdad

If this turns out to be true, it is game, set, match as far as the Democrat party is concerned for at least 25 years. Their top people have staked their careers on the notion that Saddam was unconnected to Al Qaida and such an incredible lapse in judgment will not easily be forgotten by the American people.

Unfortunately, it will mean de facto one-party rule by the Republicans, who have so far demonstrated that they are socialists when it comes to fashioning domestic policy. When we wake up in the midst of economic chaos in a few years, thanks to this party that is being thrown right now, we will have lost by winning.

Why Atta would need anything from that guy is anybody's guess.

Because (a) he and his group had expertise and experience in airline hijackings, (b) he was (as always) allowed to stay in Iraq in trade for access to his terrorist contacts.

At 65 and suffering from cancer, it's not likely that Abu Nidal himself would have trained Atta, but certainly he would have been able to oversee and/or plan the training using his followers and disciples.

From the INTELbriefing article linked to below:
AFI Daily OSINT

Salman Pak - Iraq‘s own terrorist training camp

Two Iraqi Military defectors, an unnamed former Lt. General and a Captain Sabah Khodada recently gave details of an Iraqi school at Salman Pak which includes training for the hijacking of passenger airliners and other modes of transportation. The former Iraqi General said that there was a old Boeing 707 resting next to rail tracks on edge of Salman Pak being used in terrorist training, the existence of this aircraft has been confirmed by UN. Inspectors.

The General, who had been the Security Officer in charge of the camp also reported that there were mixed nationality units including Saudi‘s, Egyptians and Chechens at Salman Pak. Usually about 40 strong, these terrorist units received upto five months of intensive training. However the terrorist units were actually under the control of Iraq‘s Al- Mukhabarat Intelligence Service and in particular a section called the Division of Special Operations. Much of this was also confirmed by Captain Khodada.

The foreign fighters were segregated from Iraqi military personnel and Saddam Husseins own Fedayeen, except during certain specific training sessions. The overall training program included assassination, kidnapping, sabotage or hijacking of aircraft, buses, trains, sabotage of public utilities and most importantly of all, in the use of Chemical, Biological and possibly crude nuclear devices.

However, the training also included how to prepare and carry out suicide attacks and involved how to get access to the flight cabin, getting weapons on board, security weakness, terrorizing the passengers and crew. Captain Khodada stated " Those ‘Arabs‘ are real volunteers. They come in small numbers, and they come with the intention to do some real suicidal operations. "

" It has been said openly in the (Iraqi)media and even to us, from the highest command, that the purpose of establishing of establishing Saddam’s Fedayeen Fighters is to attack American targets and American interests. This is known. There is no doubt about it. All this training is directed towards attacking American targets, and American interests."

Khodada added "The training does not only include hijacking of planes and sabotage, some of the people were trained to do parachuting. Some other areas were training on how to penetrate enemy lines and get information from behind enemy lines. But its all for the general concept of hitting and attacking American targets and American interests. "

The worldwide terrorist threat

While no hard evidence was provided of a link between Iraq and Al Qaida or the Palestinians, the overall impression given by these two defectors and information made available from European Intelligence officials is that Iraq‘s training camps, Al Qaida, Iran‘s Hezbollah and other non-Muslim groups are part of a determined and highly dangerous international terrorist network that is not controlled from Afghanistan or by Osama Bin-Ladin.

With CIA Special Operations Group personnel already in Somalia, officers from the Agency‘s Near East Division in discussion with Somali rebels near Berbera and Yemeni Security officials and with the re-deployment of important US military assets there is the imminent prospect of the conflict spreading to new areas. However, as with the war in Afghanistan, this will just be another serious distraction from coming to terms with the real long-term terrorist threat.

Most of the really effective international terrorists are long-term sleepers, planted within Western nations over the years. They may be your dentist, your tax adviser or that nice family who moved in next door five years ago. These are the planners and organizers who prepare the ground for the suicide bomber or aircraft hijacker who arrive a few months ahead of an operation.

B52 bombing strikes and daring Special Forces operations make good copy, but the real work to dismantle the Al Qaida and other terrorist networks will eventually be down to the

internal security forces such as the FBI, MI-5, DST or even to national Police forces. It is indeed going to be a long and difficult war and it is vitally important that the first casualty is not the very democracy, individual freedom and respect for justice we seek to defend.
