This is a fascinating read; thank you for posting it.
The left loves to point to the Atta in Prague was debunked to claim that Saddam didn't have a relationship with Al Qaeda. Unfortunately for them, there are so many other instances of Iraqi agents meeting with Al Qaeda, that whether Atta ever met with Iraqis is irrelevant.
Of course, it would be best if Republicans would actually USE some of the other information that has been gathered of Iraqis meeting with Al Qaeda in at least semi-official capacities.
Congressional Republicans are either too lazy to use the information or they fear re-election if they are too hawkish and believe (incorrectly I feel) that trying to garner support for the war will not stand them in good stead and their re-election is more assured if they take a more moderate position.
Regardless, there were many other instances of Iraqis meeting with AQ:

Contemporaneous with the original story of Atta in Prague I somehow managed to establish an email relationship with a Czech reporter in Prague. I was looking for some info closer to the scene. I can't even remember his name now but I remember this, his reporting was that Czech intelligence never changed their story, their position is and always has been that Atta met with Al Ani in Prague.
