Like any good magician, the liberal press is hoping that you don't see the slight of hand behind the trick.
What the Commission said was that they don't see credible evidence of Al-Qaeda and Iraq cooperating on the 9/11 attacks.
But the slight of hand here is that the *press* is now saying that there is no cooperation between Iraq and Al-Qaeda...at all.
It's clever. This is high quality propaganda. Why, the news media has this Congressional Commission's report! Of course there was no link between Iraq and Al-Qaeda, the press claims!
But that's not what the report said. The report only said "no credible proof of 9/11 cooperation..." not that there was no link between them at all. Al Qaeda leader Abu Nidal was in a Baghdad hospital from before 9/11 until almost the moment of our invasion of Iraq, after all. Al-Ansar operated inside Iraq's northernmost territories, for another. Iraqi agents may have even met with Mohamad Atta in Prague prior to the 9/11 attack, too...and Iraqi Intelligence agent Ramsi Yusef was *convicted* of blowing up the WTC back in 1993.
But that evidence now gets overlooked. The news media now has a Congressional Report, you know.
Subtle. Sneaky.

We might as well applaud such high quality propaganda. That's the way the masters of the craft do it.
Too bad that it's at our expense, though.
