I've said again and again that this was the worst turn that George Tenet did for President Bush.

Tenet got on TV or spoke to MSM reporters again and again and again, insisting that the story about Atta in Prague was false. Wrong. Czech intelligence stuck with their story, and I am inclined to believe them before I believe a lying clintonoid like Tenet.

There were other connections between Saddam and al Qaeda, but the meeting in Prague was the smoking gun, and Tenet spent an inordinate amount of time shooting it down, contrary to evidence that was well known at the time.

I think President Bush was a fool to keep that traitor in office one day after he assumed the presidency. I also think he is still a fool to keep Mueller as head of the FBI, since Mueller has done nothing but cover up for the clintonoids in the FBI. As this story says, it has taken both the CIA and the FBI to cover up the Prague connection, and they have worked very hard to do it.

The reference to the WSJ is a bit confusing. The piece appears in Opinion Journal, and is available to anyone who has done the free registration, here:

One point that needs stressing is that the CIA evidently LEAKED the story prematurely to the MSM, and this rightly angered Czech intelligence. LeakGate, anyone?

This is what LeakGate is really about. Not Scooter Libby or Bush, but the rogues in the CIA who regularly leak to the leftist press for their own traitorous purposes.

If the Republicans were smart (so we know this won't happen)this should pressed and investigated.

If Mizz Clinton comes to power she will be dragging along the foreign policy hacks that have conspired to cover up all this mess.

The "Atta in Prague" possibility never fit the 9/11 Commission’s narrative, so it was buried with a shoddy, slap-dash investigation

Big ol' Bump.

in February 1999, Richard Clarke objected to a suggestion that U-2 flights be used to try to find bin Laden because, if bin Laden learned the walls were closing in, Clarke wrote to Sandy Berger that “old wiley Usama will likely boogie to Baghdad.

Does this in any way tie into information by the accounts of Jayna Davis in the book "The Third Terrorist"?

One Czech faction, let's call them the reformers, would have had it in their interest to share intel info regarding an Atta - Mukhabarat "meet up," if true, with the US. Another Czech faction, let's call them the old boy network, would not have had it in their interest and in fact may themselves have been benefitting from the Oil-For-Food scam while actually facilitating things like the Atta - Mukhabarat "meet up." It is highly likely that this latter group have long been involved in Iraq, Syria, Iran, terrorism and the former USSR, due to being of StB pedigree. What a complicated scenario this may in fact be. Hence, the murkyness.

It is known and not disputed that Atta made a previous trip to Prague in 2000: http://www.respekt.cz/english/clanek_detail.php?f_id=62

Atta had previously been appointed head of the "planes" operation by bin Laden. He flew to Prague, stayed a few hours at the airport, and flew back to Germany. One possible explanation for this unusual trip: was he scouting the potential for hijacking an airliner and flying it into Radio Liberty headquarters in Prague?

The Leak was what struck me in this article this morning. We are so much advanced in the maturity (read corruption and rot) of our systems than the Czechs that leaks of classified info to gain some political/personal advantage are a matter of course in D.C. And advantages are gained, the media hunt these leaks. This morning's Comical (SOURCE: their 'News Services' but the article is not available online):
Although Woodward is listed as an assistant managing editor, Howell said, he has no management duties."He comes and goes as he pleases, mostly writing his bestselling books on what happens behind the doors of power, and he reports only to Downie...", she wrote. "He is allowed to keep juicy stories to himself until his latest book is unveiled in the front page of the Post. He is the master of anonymous source."

Somebody, "behind the doors of power" has to feed these parasites, and then somebody out there salivates at the "juicy stories" that the parasites sell. Imagine, the Czechs are shocked at this state of things! A fine mess.
