That's egg on toast, or maybe boiled sheep's eyes on pita, all over certain faces over at the September 11 commission.
The commission's vague and fuzzy conclusion that it can find "no credible evidence" of a link between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden enabled John F. Kerry, the New York Times, The Washington Post and even the Associated Press to apply what looks a lot like whitewash to certain pesky facts.

Question: Why would Saddam have a painting made showing his pleasure at 9/11 .. IF he was not a participant in it ..?? Maybe Saddam didn't plan it, organize it, or train the terrorists .. but he could easily have funded it, and provided the place for training as evidenced by the airline shell at Salmon Pak.

NASIRIYA, Iraq (CNN) --U.S. Marines searching Iraqi military headquarters in this southern city that was the site of intensive fighting came across a mural depicting a plane crashing into a building complex resembling New York's twin towers, a news agency photograph showed Wednesday.
The plane's logo and coloring resembled that of Iraqi Airlines, said Getty Images News Service executive Brian Felber, based in New York.
The photograph, showing two rifle-toting Marines in front of the mural, was shot by staff photographer Joe Raedle, who is accompanying the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force from Task Force Tarawa.
Getty is a news photo agency that distributes about 500 photographs from around the world each day and has 10 staff members embedded with U.S. forces in the Iraq conflict.
Felber said this photo was "causing a bit of a stir."

This is a great photo too .. but my main concern was the fact that Saddam appeared to be making a PERSONAL connection to what happened on 9/11.
