I agree with you SA, 45 replies later and the key element of this story remains undisclosed: a reliable source for the claim that Saddam gave Zawahiri $300,000 in the spring of 1998. Don't misunderstand me, I believe it to be true, but belief doesn't get the job done.

Great ammunition for Bush, if true. He could silence a lot a critics, foreign and domestic, and have suddenly a huge credibility in asking for support from Russia, France, and Germany in setting up democracy in Iraq and in putting the screws to Iran.
But he hasn't made this intelligence treasure public. Making the article very suspect to me.
Like you, it wouldn't surprise me if true, but one unnamed source means nothing.
