OK..........

Now how about this Rat NY Times Reporter>>>>>:

Dexter Filkins, a New York Times reporter who was given access to the document by the U.S. military, told CNN they prove nothing "other than the fact that these operatives in Iraq want some help."

They don't want to let this get out of control and help President Bush!!!!!

But we have this:

In a speech to the United Nations February 5, 2003, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell cited Zarqawi's presence in northern Iraq as evidence of a "sinister nexus between Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist network."

On Monday, Powell said the Zarqawi document "certainly lends some credence" to those claims.

U.S. officials said last month that mounting evidence suggests Zarqawi was involved in some of last year's major attacks in Iraq -- against Italian forces, U.N. headquarters in Baghdad and the Imam Ali Mosque in Najaf. (Full story)

The first attack killed 16 Italian soldiers, two Italian civilians and nine Iraqis in Nasiriya. More than 20 people, including United Nations envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello, were killed in the headquarters bombing. The mosque attack in Najaf killed 126 people, including a Shiite spiritual leader.

Zarqawi, who is suspected of masterminding the slaying of an American diplomat in Amman, Jordan, moved into Iraq to plan the attacks, officials believe. Although not a member of al Qaeda, he is affiliated with the terrorist organization, officials say. As far as I am concerned he is a member!!
