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.

...examination of a newly-released document captured in Iraq, Robison offers further evidence that in 1999 the Taliban welcomed "Islamic relations with Iraq" to mediate among the Taliban, the Northern Alliance and Russia, and that the Taliban reciprocated with an invitation to Iraqi officials to visit Afghanistan.

The document appears to be a notebook kept by an Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) agent, and apparently captured in 2003. The translation is provided by Robison's associate, known here as “Sammi.” The notebook deals extensively with the meetings between a prominent Taliban supporter and former Saddam regime officials.

...translation from this notebook indicated that the Taliban under the leadership of Mullah Omar was seeking Iraq's support in mediating with Russia and the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan. This translation reveals that the Saddam regime had expectations of assistance from the Taliban, and that the two agreed to a secret intelligence relationship. The Iraqi official tells the Maulana that they want the Taliban to support Iraq against U.S. actions. They also discuss their common enemy: the United States.

Iraq always was part of the war on terror.

Get the proof out and rub some liberal faces in it's sweet scent.

Yes, it was, and if you read Jayna Davis' book "The Third Terrorist" it will become clear (early in the book!) that the OKC bombing was yet another Iraqi op.

A long list of Iraq/Al Qaeda connections going back to the 1990's when the media wrote dozens of articles about the world's alarm at the growing relationship between Saddam and Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

Definitely. I lent that book to two liberals who thought I was nut. Then they read the book. And became supporters of the war in Iraq.

Jayna Davis did so much research that former CIA Director James Woolsey said that "When the world knows the truth about OKC, they will owe Davis a debt of gratitude."

Sounds like Fox News will be running a series on their web site and probably on their news programs.

Great book. Why it hasn't been more widely read is a mystery to me.
