"(NOTICE: The 9/11 Commission Report released July 22 contradicts the speculation about Shakir's identity. Buried in Footnote 49 of Ch. 6:

Commission Report: Mihdhar was met at the Kuala Lumpur airport by Ahmad Hikmat Shakir, an Iraqi national. Reports that he was a lieutenant colonel in the Iraqi Fedayeen have turned out to be incorrect. They were based on a confusion of Shakir's identity with that of an Iraqi Fedayeen colonel with a similar name, who was later (in September 2001) in Iraq at the same time Shakir was in police custody in Qatar.)"

Yeah, I'm reading that as a statement that Shakir (let's say #2) met Mihdhar at an airport. The rebuttal is that whomever was in the pre 9/11 meeting was a different Shakir (let's call him #1) and possibly not even an Iraqi.

>>>I have not tried to say that Iraq participated in 9/11 directly.

If that is truly your stance, then I think we agree on what the evidence currently shows. I am absolutely 100% open to new and verifiable evidence.

Are we talking at cross purposes here?

My reading is that a guy named Shakir was at a 9/11 planning meeting. At first it was thought he was high ranking Fedayeen. Then it was discovered he was an Iraqi national. Jordanian intelligence believe he was Iraqi intelligence.

Where do you get he may not even be Iraqi intelligence? Doesn't the 9/11 Commission Report update you just posted say that he is an Iraqi national?
