Since you are purposefully being so obtuse, read my #170, then come back with your spew.
There were many meetings between aQ operatives and Saddam's killer crew the case of possible mistaken identity does not change that fact.
As to the meaning of "pre" I presumed that could cover a lot of time prior to 911 and it had nothing to do with 911 per se. A pre-planning meeting is NOT a planning meeting.
