Only one problem. NO ONE is going to hear about this since the major news outlets aren't going to cover it.

Five more months before the election. Bush is a master of rope-a-dope. Either the dems can quietly admit sometime this summer that there were links, or Bush will hit them with it in the October debates.

I am just shocked by the Administration's lack of aggresiveness in defending their position. The Klintoon admin. spent 10s of millions of $s defending his "indescretions" and cigar circus acts, but Bush can't seem to push a message to defend an obviously defendable action of taking these ba$t@rds out of power.

I'll bet the willfully ignorant Dan Rather will scan this and not comprehend it.

"Ahmed Hikmat Shakir"

Memorize the name. Ask your liberal friends what they know about him.

I'm not sure there is such as source. WSJ reaches millions, and its web site reaches millions more.

Furthermore, WSJ is a media source for thousands of other papers around the world including the International Herald Tribune, among others.

The other side of this is pure competition. Enough Newspaper editors and broadcast media editors will see this and want to run a story. The beauty of this is that the more others publish this the more the Peter Jennings of the world become superfluous

The left will only believe Iraq was involved in 9/11 if they see evidence that Saddam himself was on the flight deck of Flight 11. Anything less will be disregarded as "rogue and disaffected elements of the Iraqi regime ."

That's what the bully pulpit is for. If the President says it, the press has to cover it.

On October 21, 2001, Shakir flew from Doha to Amman, Jordan, and was arrested by Jordanian authorities. The CIA even interrogated him. Does anybody here actually think if he really had anything to do with 9-11, they would have let him go? Don't be naive, it's not like it is a major find.

That's amazing in Europen Edition of WSJ that article is missing. Instead readers have to read : "An Oil Crisis Made in USA"

Yep, it's not like they would track his movements to locate other terrorists.

Everyone knows the CIA just isn't that smart.

That dog won't hunt. This information was not known to interrogate Shakir about until long after October 2001.
