Not really as there is very little evidence that Saddam was training radical, fundamentalist Muslims.

This is a talking point of Iraq detractors. It is also untrue.

I looked through your links, but didn’t have time to read them completely yet. (The last one didn’t work.)

I did get a kick out of the Weekly Standard article. It made the claim that the administration was not releasing the information piecemeal because some media might cherry pick the information to discredit the war. Then they go on to say “11” unnamed sources in the administration had told them that Iraq was involved with terrorists. As if a neocon magazine would not support the policies of the war movement, being that neocons were a very vocal group arguing for the war.

There was also a startling admission in one of the articles which said something like, “As wrong as we were about WMD ...”

Don’t you think it a bit strange, given the unpopularity of the war, that the administration has not released any papers or actual evidence to back up the connection with terrorism??

What makes you think this information is any more accurate than the information about the WMD?
