Yep. Well... at least until someone from one of those intelligence committees LEAKS something, then they are preaching the word from ABOVE to the MSM.
I've been reading Perfect Soldiers by Terry McDermot. He is a LA times reporter who was given the assignment to go anywhere and take as much time as needed to discover who the hijackers were and why they did what they did. It is an absolutely fascinating and well-written book even if he does work for the LAT. Everyone should read this. I got it from the library and if your library doesn't have it, request they buy it. I may even buy a copy of it to loan out to some people.
indeed. thx.
LA times is part of the mainstream media.
Lets see if he can do it without a liberal bias?

In my opinion, yes.
Clinton's Path Of Least Resistance
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White, who in 1998 brought an indictment against bin Laden and a deputy, Mohammed Atef, for the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, wrote two scathing memos to Attorney General Janet Reno on the wall Gorelick built with Reno's approval.

And if Yousef is Iraqi intelligence, the entire Baluch family is Iraqi intelligence. Including Uncle KSM.
Ping.
I wonder if CNN has seen that ....
This is a great post!!!! Thanks
I suspect you are right. But, more than likely, they were who they were before Saddam's Mukhabbarat recruited them. And, after Saddam lost power, they remained who they were.
What I'm trying to say is that the Baluch clan are probably better cast as free-lancers. But free-lancers who had a contractual relationship with Saddam...
"In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the Government of Iraq."
I wonder if CNN has seen that ...
I'm sure CNN treats that story like the Democrats are treating Joe Lieberman.
Interestingly, ther eis a document found in the HQ of Iraqi intelligence by our troops that lists Iraqi intelligence assets and operatives. On page 14, attached to the Damascus bureau, is the name Osama bin Laden.
I like this quote
"And I know your next move, I watch you so much, 'There's been no proven link between the secular state of Iraq and al-Qaeda!' Come on. They both think we're Satan. Isn't that a nice starting point? Why are you so loathe to believe they might have each other on lunatic speed dial?" -- Dennis Miller on Hannity & Colmes.
