What was the relationship between Saddam Hussein's inner circle and Islamic terrorists? A newly released document captured in Iraq, but never before seen by the public, offers glimmers of new insight at the Pentagon's Foreign Military Studies Office Web site. The FMSO is a research and analysis center under the U.S. Army's Training and Doctrine Command. This particular document mentions two men with similar names, each with ties to Pakistani religious schools known as madrassas, Jihad training camps, the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
This original translation by my translator-colleague, who goes by the nom de guerre of "Sammi," comes from a notebook kept by an Iraqi intelligence agent. It provides evidence of a cooperative, operational relationship agreed to at the highest levels of the Iraqi government and the Taliban. The notebook is lengthy and we will present it on the FOX News Web site in a series of postings. It deals extensively with meetings between Maulana Fazlur Rahman, an Al Qaeda/Taliban supporter, and Taha Yassin Ramadan, the former vice president of Iraq, and other unnamed Iraqi officials.

Whoops. Almost forgot to say thanks for the great post. Yet another stone turned over that shows Saddam had ties with world wide terrorist groups.

I think we'll see more of these connections as more documents are translated and as we get closer to November 2
Yeah, the pre-war intelligence sure was "faulty". /sarc
The president needs to take these documents to a White House press briefing immediately. Helen, shove this!
The pieces keep falling into the puzzle, don't they?
someone notify MSM!
http://markeichenlaub.blogspot.com/ More links between Saddam and al Qaeda mentioned here
Don't tell the MSM, they are too busy telling us that Zarqawi's death isn't important. They can't be bothered for a few weeks until they can cook up another fake scandal.
Big find -- only someone who pretends that the Taliban was not deeply implicated with Al Qaeda or that VP Ramadan was not Saddam's right hand man could possibly doubt the enormous significance of this find. Of course, libs have made a career out of ignoring the obvious, so nothing will sway them now.
More thanks to that jerkoff Negroponte no doubt... I SWEAR he is working against us.

Huh???? Negroponte is the current National Intelligence Director. This is from 1999, when Clinton wasn't paying attention, while Saddam was playing footsie and planning with Al Qaeda.
"Yep. Remember that Cindy Sheehan thinks they are all freedom fighters and Iraq had no terrorists. Freedom Fighters video snippet."

Thanks. Have the whole series.
Wow! I am certain the MSM will be all over this one!
Yeah, I know. Here's the tag: /sarc.
But it is on the Foxnews website--that's a start. (Trying to be positive here.)
I think he's referring to how Negroponte dragged his feet on releasing any docs, until Pres. Bush had to order that it be done.
These docs should have been studied and released 3 years ago. Negroponte has only been on the scene for a year or so, I believe, but still he could have expedited the project and instead kept opposing the release of any docs. It think just about any national security bureaucrat hates releasing docs (unless it's libs leaking to the MSM), but still Negroponte should have grasped how important it is for these docs to be read and translated.

Thanks for the clarification. Now I understand the comment.
But I only found it by accident -- it's not listed in their Frontpage stories.
I searched Google News for the word "terror" and it showed up that way.
