July 12, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - A federal judge helping to rebuild Iraq's judicial system says he's come up with an intriguing document linking Saddam Hussein to Osama bin Laden.

Federal appellate Judge Gilbert Merritt, who is currently in Iraq, said an Iraqi lawyer brought him documents that included the name of an Iraqi officer in that country's embassy in Pakistan who was described as "responsible for the coordination of activities with the Osama bin Laden group."

Does everyone get their copy of The Tennessean a few weeks late?

Well, Tennesee is a little slow! LOL

It's great that it was FINALLY picked up by a larger news source, The New York Post.

But, knowing demonrats, they will find a way to discredit this guy...

Yes, they'll call him an "uncle tom" like they do Clarence Thomas and Condi Rice.

Bump!!! Thanks for the ping, Meekie.

He said an Iraqi lawyer recently brought him a Nov. 14, 2002, edition of a newspaper controlled by Saddam's sadistic son Uday that included photos of Saddam, bin Laden, and a "List of Honor" - 600 names of "regime persons," including all 55 of the wanted deck-of-card Iraqis.

The lawyer told Merritt that Uday had published the list to make the men more loyal, but Saddam hit the roof when he saw it and sent his henchmen to confiscate the newspapers, even going door to door to force people to turn them over. The lawyer had kept his copy.

I wonder what kind of wine goes good with crow?????

The HitLIARy beast must be especially seething as she reads this paper with her morning breakfast. Her normal routine as she wonders the whereabouts of her husband and the song "Who's bed have your boots been under" runs through her head. She thinks "well, I'm back to 2008 at this point". Her next interview will state "I have no intentions of running for president".

Thanks for the ping! It must be really some very hard evidence if this friend of the Gores says there is a link!

"It seems to me to be strong proof that the two were in contact and conspiring to perform terrorist acts," Merritt, a Democrat and longtime family friend of Al Gore, wrote in a dispatch for The Tennesseean newspaper - charges similar to those previously reported by The Weekly Standard

Interesting musings. Who says that people don't suffer some of the harm stored up for us even in this lifetime, when we refuse repentance to God?

Great story on this Saturday morning. Hopefully there will be more coverage of this development, but not holding my breath. A story like this one which contains evidence and credibility won't be touched by "trustworthy" folks at "See-BS."

Shouldnt this be a mainstream story? Why dont any of the networks have it?

That would not help the 'RATS in their 'quest' for 'Regime change' here !!

I am certain that Katie Colon and the like will NOT sound off from this point of view on Monday mornings chat fest. "Where are the WMD's??? Bush lied and should immediately resign/be impeached. We want the elected president to be in place NOW."

Katie Sux. Oh, so does Gore.

You prepare the strait-jacket; I'll prepare the chemical mix heavily dosed with prozac.
