Thanks for ping!

OK. I see that we have at least three stories about the source of this letter on a disk (CD?):

1.Still, a senior United States intelligence official in Washington said, "I know of no reason to believe the letter is bogus in any way." He said the letter was seized in a raid on a known Qaeda safe house in Baghdad, and did not pass through Iraqi groups that American intelligence officials have said in the past may have provided unreliable information.
2.The Times report quoted unidentified U.S. officials as saying that American forces arrested a man who had the document on a computer disc and was taking it to Afghanistan to get it to al-Qaida's senior leaders.
3.A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the letter was on a computer disk found on Hassan Ghul, a senior al-Qaida courier arrested last month by Kurdish forces as he tried to enter the country from Iran.

I can easily enough harmonize 1 and 2 – The guy who was about to go to Afghanistan was taken in the safe house in Baghdad maybe. But I can’t easily harmonize 3 with either of the first two.

Anybody, any ideas?
