I guess the commission is trying to find a way out from their own web of lies. They must have read the poll, that 69% of the American people believe there was indeed a link between Saddam and Al qaeda. ;)

I am sure it's just a coincidence, sure, anyone wants some bridges?

The entire 911 Commission is a bunch of politcal buffoons! This 991 Commission Report is dead on arrival!

You can't trust anything the commission says - move on.

This isn't really news, it is weeks-old information. The only reason it is being released now is to cover their collective asses, after a solid week of pounding the Bush Administration in the media. What a bunch of losers.

John F. Lehman, a Reagan-era GOP defense official told NBC's

Yep, just a "defense official". He was Secretary of the Navy. Which puts him directly below the Secretary of Defense, and thus only one tier below cabinet level.They also don't bother to mention that he is a member of the 9-11 Commission

A clear attempt to downgrade the significance of his information. Information which FReepers have had for some time.

Interesting.

Yet another reason to flush the "Commission". Cowards, and Monday morning quarterbacks at best, traitors at the worst. Somewhere there is a gray area where they actually rest. It doesn't represent the good for our country, it represents the bad in politics.

Toilet paper is needed, put the prose of the commission into a good cause. They lost all credibility long ago.

...The best proof of this is the Americans' continuing aggression against the Iraqi people using the Peninsula as a staging post, even though all its rulers are against their territories being used to that end, still they are helpless. Second, despite the great devastation inflicted on the Iraqi people by the crusader-Zionist alliance, and despite the huge number of those killed, in excess of 1 million... their eagerness to destroy Iraq, the strongest neighboring Arab state, and their endeavor to fragment all the states of the region such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Sudan into paper statelets and through their disunion and weakness to guarantee Israel's survival and the continuation of the brutal crusade occupation of the Peninsula.

All these crimes and sins committed by the Americans are a clear declaration of war on God, his messenger, and Muslims...

On that basis, and in compliance with God's order, we issue the following fatwa to all Muslims The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies--civilians and military--is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it...

The writer was Osama bin Laden. 23 September, 1998. Find the complete text HERE. It was his fatwah, his reason for embarking on the war that culminated on 11 September 2001.

Before the war I alwys heard liberals talking about how Saddam was the worlds largest money launderer. Now they stop saying it because it makes a financial link if you use your head.
