A terrorist training camp at Salman Pak was shut down by military operations in Iraq, a White House report disclosed last week.

It was the first time that the camp located 25 miles outside of Baghdad had been offically mentioned. A second camp used by the Al Qaeda affiliated group Ansar al Islam was shut down in Northern Iraq.

'Many terrorist groups' used the Salman Pak camp for training, the report stated.

U.S. Officials said that satellite photographs of the camp disclosed a commerical jetliner at the site, an indication that terrorists were using the camp to practice hijacking techniques.

Iraqi military defectors disclosed the existence of the Boeing 707 near a rail track and provided other details prior to US Military Operations.

Some 40 Saudi, Egyptian and Chechan terrorists spent up to five months in training at the camp.

I agree, the CIA and FBI are not credible and should be disbanded.

I wonder if we ever were able to prove the connection between Hitler and Pearl Harbor.

Maybe we should apologize for launching WW II on the basis of a lie, and return the Nazis to power.

Well, excluding the evidence we've already discovered, what evidence have we found of links to Al Queda?

Uh, how many of those forty Saudi nationals and other nationals known to have been in training at Salman Pak will also show up on the list of the 19 of 9/11 fame? ... Think about it! The administration is giving the fool democrats a chance to shut up, before lowering the boom upon them.

I recall hearing similiar things about Ken Starr's report only to be betrayed by the establishment.
