It's been nearly six months. That call never came. As of Thursday, no one from the U.S. government had contacted Potter about the document his editors are now holding.

It's been obvious for a couple of years that the CIA doesn't WANT to find any connection between al Qaeda and Saddam. There's no other way to explain why they have failed to investigate this lead, which was widely publicized at the time.

This article doesn't even mention Atta's meeting in Prague with a senior Iraqi intelligence agent. He flew over especially to meet with this guy. GEORGE TENET repeatedly and personally denied to the press that the meeting took place. The only trouble is, the top Czech officials who insisted that he did continued to stick to their story. Does anybody believe that sick clintonoid Tenet?

It's unlikely that something like this can ever be proven 100%. But I'd say that the evidence so far indicates maybe 90 or 95%. Tenet is a traitor, to his president and to his country. He's one more clintonoid who puts ideology and power ahead of the national interest.

Hayes is reliable in his reporting.....if this is true..

Is there a specialized team searching for Saddam-al Qaeda ties--something like David Kay's Iraq Survey Group, say, with its 1,400 scientists and intelligence experts roaming Iraq in search of proscribed weapons? "There is no such operation," says one intelligence official familiar with postwar intelligence. "What we know, we know because a handful of uniformed guys on the ground in Iraq have a hard-on for this stuff."

If this is true......that the CIA isn't even looking for a connection then we are royally screwed....in the War on Terror.

Hayes is alluding to a White House that is afraid to make any kind of claim of a connection because there is a faction in the CIA waiting to leak from classified material to discredit them.

Amazing ........simply jaw dropping amazing!

"It's been obvious for a couple of years that the CIA doesn't WANT to find any connection between al Qaeda and Saddam. There's no other way to explain why they have failed to investigate this lead, which was widely publicized at the time."

Recall, as well, Jeff Goldberg's revelation of al-Qaeda operations in the Kurdish territory of Northern Iraq as early as March, 2002 And that these operations were conducted with the full knowledge and assistance of Saddam's regime. See The Great Terror, 3/25/02 New Yorker.

Incredibly, by their own admission, the CIA never attempted to confirm Goldberg's observations -- and continued to deny any connection between Saddam's Iraq and al-Qaeda.

Interesting to see that Goldberg is one of the reporters who is still pursuing this story, though...
