The Arab news translation service MEMRI reports in a breaking-news crawl that Osama bin Laden met with Saddam's Italian attorney in the al-Rashid Hotel in Baghdad in 1998:

Saddam's Italian attorney Giovanni de Stafano told a London-based daily that a meeting was held between himself and Osama bin Laden at the Rashid Hotel in Baghdad in 1998. (al-Sharq al-Awsat)

This came out yesterday.
The mainstream media will bury this until November 3rd.

This was up a couple times yesterday. The source is an Arab paper.

Seems like the bin-Laden-at-the-Al-Rashid story has been
known for some time. You get more hits if you spell the
lawyer's name "Stefano".

Here's one:

Then it's up to the RNC to bring it up on television regardless of what the topic.I have been watching Fox all morning and every news story is bad for Bush,Medicare,flu shots,the refusal of troops to obey an order,and the UN head saying we are not any safer.It looks bad .

Osama meeting with lawyers? This really proves the man has no honor or judgement.

I'm sorry but this can not be!! All the slimey crapweasal democrat scumbags in the House told me so. If I were to believe this, next thing you know, they'd come up with proof that Willie had a rep at the meeting!
