News reports that the Defense Department recently confirmed new information with respect to contacts between al-Qaida and Iraq in a letter to the Senate Intelligence Committee are inaccurate.
Your link proves this memo is indeed credible. Thank you.
As already pointed out earlier in this thread, if you accentuate the word, "NEW", the release implies that all the information referenced in the memo was previously released, and reports that it is NEW are inaccurate.
