"woefully underreported decision," since a cursory review of Harold Baer's track record as a judge would reveal that the guy is pretty much a loony-tune who shouldn't be anywhere near a Federal bench

And we're supposed to what? Take your word for it?

And it's a noticeable lapse when you can't respond to the facts on the ground - that Saddam and AQ had a decade's long relationship which has been documented time and time again by the legal system, the media and defector's own words.

And I notice that you cannot begin to explain away how Saddam had such advance notice of 9/11 that he had an article printed in his own state run newspaper that soon America would be hurting where it hurt before (WTC) and we'd never again sing "New York, New York" without crying.

Here's a "noticeable lapse" for you . . .

If there was a such a clear connection between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda, then why is this coming to light in an uncontested civil trial while this administration has repeatedly denied that such a connection exists?

I'll be perfectly willing to accept the notion that this connection exists. But if you go through the events of the last 15 years, you'll understand why nobody in either political party would ever want to admit it.
