..it's nice that the media finally gets its facts straight just before OBL becomes tomato paste like his #3 man.

Intelligence sources say bin Laden's long relationship with the Iraqis began as he helped Sudan's fundamentalist government in their efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction.

Three weeks after the bombing, on August 31, bin Laden reaches out to his friends in Iraq and Sudan. Iraq's vice president arrives in Khartoum to show his support for the Sudanese after the U.S. attack. ABC News has learned that during these meetings, senior Sudanese officials acting on behalf of bin Laden ask if Saddam Hussein would grant him asylum.

(on camera) Iraq was, indeed, interested. ABC News has learned that in December, an Iraqi intelligence chief, named Farouk Hijazi, how Iraq's ambassador to Turkey, made a secret trip to Afghanistan to meet with bin Laden. Three intelligence agencies tell ABC News they cannot be certain what was discussed, but almost certainly, they say, bin Laden has been told he would be welcome in Baghdad.

I have to point this out. Admiral Crowe who was cited in the article is on the board of directors of BIOPORT. His company received a $150 million no bid contract in the late 90's to produce Anthrax vaccine for the US military. Due to production snafu's the Clinton Administration only vaccinated those serving in the Persian Gulf.

John Miller?

Did they even call Ambassador Prudence Bushnell?
