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.
Thanks for the ping!
