I appreciate and respect the hard work of these Freepers but this theory has been reviewed and investigated time and time again, both in the media and in government. Even Republicans on the Senate Select Committee found it with partisan bias. Defectors’ credibility was iffy as well.
While I can say that Iraq was definitely training terrorist methods, I don’t think we can verify they were training al Qaeda.
Where do you think al Qaeda murderers who bombed the train in Spain learned the ‘trade’? Or the bus in London? Given the carton cutter methodology of the 911 murderers, where do you think they were taught that methodology? Who trained the murderers who’ve slaughter Israelis prior to Saddam being deposed?
There was bias by the Senate Select Intelligence Committee. The two Rinos voted with Democrats not because of facts but due to pre-conceived notions.
I wrote about how that happened to the 911 Commission. The same can be said for the Senate Select Intelligence Committee.

Police are also seeking to establish whether any of the bombers had been to Pakistan or trained in Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan.
Confirmation that the bombers were British is vindication for former Scotland Yard chief Lord Stevens, who said at the weekend he believed they would be British-born and bred.
He warned that up to 3,000 British-based men had trained at terror camps and said Al Qaeda recruiters were targeting a new breed of educated, computer-literate terrorists.
Saddam referred to them as “fedayeen” and they weren’t Iraqis — who do you think they were/are?
