"In this man's heart (Osama bin Laden) you'll find an insistence, a strange determination that he will reach one day the tunnels of the White House and will bomb it with everything that is in it.....with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House. ...the revolutionary bin Laden is insisting very convincingly that he will strike America on the arm that is already hurting. That the man....will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs." (A reference to Sinatra's "New York, New York"?)

"At this stage it is possible to turn to biological attack, where a small can, not bigger than the size of the hand, can be used to release viruses that affect everything.... The viruses easily spread by air, and people are affected without feeling it."

- Uday Hussein, 9/20/01 (NOTE: The first Anthrax-laced letters were mailed on 9/18/01) (That means Hussein's son wrote this before any news had come out about the Anthrax mailings in the U.S.)

Also keep in mind that the Hon. Harold Baer Jr. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in May of 2003 that there was a link between Al Qaeda, Iraq, and 9/11.

This was in a case by two of the WTC's victim's families to recover monies from the Taliban, Iraq, and Al Qaeda.

Judge Baer, a Clinton appointee, awarded a default judgment in favor of the victim's families, but was required by statute to find that there was evidence of the 9/11 Iraq link, despite the fact counsel for the government of Iraq did not appear.

In support of his ruling in Smith v. Islamic Emirate of Afg., 262 F. Supp. 2d 217, Baer also referenced testimony of former Clinton CIA Chief James Woolsey, who testified that there was a link between Iraq and 9/11.

Hopefully, this gets out in the next few days in the ongoing debate with the New York Slimes.
