Has Sabah Khodada been discredited on his reports about Salman Pak?Not in the slightest from what I've seen.. Check out Deroy Murdocks' site Saddam Hussein's Philanthropy of Terror
Note how Khodada's drawing from memory pretty accurately depicted Salman Pak as shown by satellite photo:

And then General Vincent Brooks, who briefed reporters throughout the initial phases of Operation Iraqi Freedom, had his own observations about Saddam Hussein's terrorist pedagogy.
Speaking at an April 6, 2003 press conference, General Brooks said:
“The nature of the work being done by some of those people that we captured, their inferences to the type of training that they received, all of these things give us the impression that there was terrorist training that was conducted at Salman Pak.”And then there was this:

"So did you find out what kind of training was going on?
I don't necessarily know what kind of training they do, but they were trained exactly at the same locations, and they were trained by the same teachers who were training ... [the fighters for] Saddam. Training includes hijacking and kidnapping of airplanes, trains, public buses, and planting explosives in cities, sabotaging villages, sabotaging houses, assassinations.
And the training also included how to prepare for suicidal operations. For example, they will train them how to belt themselves around with explosives, and jump in a place and explode themselves out as part of the suicidal training. I think the trainings of the Arabs was much harsher, and much stricter, than the training of the Iraqis."
It would be a great find if we located these connections in the Harmony Database (Docex Project)
