It's about time Bush started fighting back, he needs to make sure this is on the front page of every paper in the country.

If true, the documents represent a bombshell finding that shatters the claims of Iraq war critics who have maintained for three years that Saddam Hussein had no connection whatsoever to Islamic terrorism. Let's just wait and see how this plays out.

Bush is going to have to speak about this himself, the left wing newspapers (which is most of them) will ignore the story.
He needs to detail it in the State of the Union.

He needs to detail it in the State of the Union. Only if he can prove the case beyond a shadow of a doubt.

But Valerie Plame's husband will go on a trip and determine that Bush lied about the papers.

Here's the original article.. it sounds like only summaries have been released
>>ON NOVEMBER 17, 2005, Michigan representative Pete Hoekstra wrote to John Negroponte, the director of national intelligence. Hoekstra is chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. He provided Negroponte a list of 40 documents recovered in postwar Iraq and Afghanistan and asked to see them. The documents were translated or summarized, given titles by intelligence analysts in the field, and entered into a government database known as HARMONY. Most of them are unclassified.<<

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one hears it . . . .
Is the New York Times likely to print this story? The Washington Post?
Will NBC,CBS,ABC,CNN,MSNBC go with it in prime time news? Will even the new, improved Fox News go with it?
Are the Democrats likely to admit that they have mud all over their faces? Will Pinch Sulzberger appear in the middle of Times Square beating his breast and shouting "Mea culpa!"
I doubt it.

More intriguing still is the documentation on Salman Pak - a camp previously described by Iraqi defectors as the location of airline hijacking dress rehearsals that bear a striking resemblance to what took place on 9/11. The hijack training stuff is really old I remember the picture of a 727 (I think) that they used for hijack training. The democrats said the plane was for training stewardesses.

I agree, the State of the Union is Bush's only reasonable assurance that the public will find out.

Maybe it's just me being cynical, but has ANYTHING from Newsmax come close to approaching a "front page" scoop?

I wonder why this is just now coming out?
To: wagglebee
The administration must go into a PR blitz to make these very important facts very well known to the public.

FReeper Voltage has the right idea, if Bush discusses this during the State of the Union address, the general public will hear it and there isn't a damn thing the left can do about it.

The old media will ignore it as long as they can. It's up to the new media (us included) to get the story out.
To: wagglebee
Today there have been different news sources picking up this story. If it's true, which it sounds like it is, it will be hard for the MSM to ignore it. This could be the breakthrough that tubes the nay sayers.

The hijack training stuff is old, but until now was not sourced to actual documents from the regime. Up until this the use of the aircraft at Salman Pak for training terrorists was just eyewitness info and common-sense speculation.

Bush should put this in the State of the Union speech, as the damning proof that we should have gone in, and use that as an reintroduction of his plan for pulling out ONLY when Iraq can stand on its own two feet. The releasing of this data during that speech will gain huge publicity, whether the libs like it or not.
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi will respond thusly: "Once again, the President has chosen to spin and distract from the lack of WMD."

This info has been out there for a while...lots of documents were found after we went into Iraq...I assume Bush as usual has bidded his time for optimal effect
