Gotta love the headline on this one!

[mozrock]

Oh yeah......BARF ALERT....sorry if it's too late!

[Patrick1]

I forgot who was President in the mid-ninties?

Not that Saddam's word is worth much. But who is ABC spinning for?

[hawkaw]

What a headline is right. The AP is disgusting in its coverage. At least they hit on the WMD issues in the article.

It will be interesting how this conference plays out this weekend.

[r-q-tek86]

So... if Saddam was NOT connected to terrorism... How did HE know that we were going to be hit?

[VOA]

ABC did spin...
BUT, they did include the passage in which his son-in-law admits that
all the "admissions" Iraq had made on their weapons programs were lies.

As in the court-room...once a witness admits a lie, you really can't tell
when he stops lying.
I saw that as the one admission that just about ends any thought of
confidently saying "there was no weapons program" after the first Gulf War.

[VOA]

But he insisted Iraq would never launch such an attack.
"This story is coming, but not from Iraq," he said.

Very plausibly interpreted as
"But I know where it's going to come from."
and/or
"I've aided and facilitated that sort of action to be done by a proxy
outside of Iraq."

[mnehring]

I saw this spin as a Netscape alert this a.m.

What a leap.. taking a threat to a 'warning' and somehow spinning this as so Saddam is some sort of hero.. do they take us for idiots?

[NavyCanDo]

These tapes just show the George Bush was such a great liar that even Saddam thought he had WMD.

[popdonnelly]

I thought Jerry Nadler was a horizontally challenged Congressman from New York. Is the author related?

[RAldrich]

The CIA is already going berserk because it's being exposed how incompetent they are - 34,000 boxes of untranslated tapes, information on where the WMD's went, etc. Two former CIA directors have already been pressured to resign from the Board of Directors of the organization which is publicizing these tapes.

The CIA is spinning around like whirling dervishes.

[popdonnelly]

The headline could have just as accurately said, "Saddam threatened the U.S. with terrorism".

[KarlInOhio]

Kind of like the mafia warning me that my building could burn down if I don't work with them.
