The "Iraqi Perspectives Project" has provided a look at Iraqi support for terrorism through its analysis of captured documents. The interrogation of the military commander of Salman Pak, a terrorist training camp outside of Baghdad, is said to add to this picture. And then there is the provocative "Summary of Evidence" on an Iraqi detainee at Guantanamo. Based in part on an interrogation of the detainee, it was produced by the U.S. government and released last year.

1. From 1987 to 1989, the detainee served as an infantryman in the Iraqi Army and received training on the mortar and rocket propelled grenades.

2. A Taliban recruiter in Baghdad convinced the detainee to travel to Afghanistan to join the Taliban in 1994.

3. The detainee admitted he was a member of the Taliban.

4. The detainee pledged allegiance to the supreme leader of the Taliban to help them take over all of Afghanistan.

5. The Taliban issued the detainee a Kalashnikov rifle in November 2000.

6. The detainee worked in a Taliban ammo and arms storage arsenal in Mazar-E-Sharif organizing weapons and ammunition.

7. The detainee willingly associated with al Qaeda members.

8. The detainee was a member of al Qaeda.

9. An assistant to Usama Bin Ladin paid the detainee on three separate occasions between 1995 and 1997.

10. The detainee stayed at the al Farouq camp in Darwanta, Afghanistan, where he received 1,000 Rupees to continue his travels.

11. From 1997 to 1998, the detainee acted as a trusted agent for Usama Bin Ladin, executing three separate reconnaissance missions for the al Qaeda leader in Oman, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

12. In August 1998, the detainee traveled to Pakistan with a member of Iraqi Intelligence for the purpose of blowing up the Pakistan, United States and British embassies with chemical mortars.

13. Detainee was arrested by Pakistani authorities in Khudzar, Pakistan, in July 2002

I have to run out for awhile, this has a lot of juicy new info, like Taliban recruiters in Baghdad in 1994! Y'all discuss amongst yourselves. ;-)

Silly me, I seem to have forgotten the part where the Constitution says that when you're elected to congress you can ignore the facts. Murtha, like some three-year-olds and some pacifists of my acquaintance seems to think that if he repeats something it becomes true.

Murtha is so full of it his eyes turned brown.

What are "chemical mortars"?

Murtha and Scott Ritter are two of a kind.

This might have been a great article 'cept the writer called Murtha a longtime hawk, and I had to stop right there.

I subscribed to the Weekly Standard last month because of the great work Stephen Hayes has been doing there. If the profession of journalism was not overrun by mindless liberals, he would be getting a Pulitzer prize for this work.

Censure? I'd like to see a much heftier punishment. He's a traitor to his country, who's sold his soul in hopes of having another term in office.

Then your short-sightedness caused you to miss some other very good material. I, too, disagree that he's a hawk, longtime or any other time--but Hayes has something far more important to say, and if you quit reading there, you missed it all.

Murtha was a hawk. He didn't start calling for troop withdrawal and running his idiot mouth until the latter half of last year, IIRC. That (combined with his service in Vietnam) was why the libs paraded him so prominently.

Maybe you should go back and read the rest of the article.

Does Murtha's challenger have any chance of knocking him off?

I don't have any idea, but in Pennsylvania, where Arlen Spectre is considered a conservative, I would think Murtha is pretty safe. But I honestly don't know.

What are you smoking? Arlen Specter came within a hair of being knocked off in the primary last time, and was only saved because President Bush and Rick Santorum campaigned vigorously for him. Santorum's Specter support and his move toward the center are the primary reason he's vulnerable this year. As James Carville once said, "Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, separated by Alabama." If we could just get the voter ID bill past our notably corrupt governor and could remove the 200,000+ Democrat virtual voters from the Philly area, PA would be solidly red.

Why didn't you just answer the initial question instead of trying to insult me? I said in my post I didn't know.
