"So the alleged flip-flop was a fabrication of the NYT--that figures. Do you happen to know which reporter wrote that article for the Times, or have a link to the article?"

Don't have a link, though Shermy might have one. I believe Isikoff also reported this...perhaps from the same source.

I would not be surprised if the source was our old friend, Richard Clarke...

Domestic Anthrax Theories and Early Media Reports

[Fedora]

I'm looking to see what I have on that--here's one early article from the NYT I found:

PATRICK E. TYLER with JOHN TAGLIABUE, "Czechs Confirm Iraqi Agent Met With Terror Ringleader", New York Times, Saturday, October 27, 2001

I also found this from another source:

Kate Swoger, "Intelligence chief casts doubt on Atta meeting", Prague Post, 07/15/2002
