Remember that this is the week the New Yorker ran an article about Iraq's connection with genocide, poison gas, and Al Qaeda, together with suggestions that it has employed biological agents in the past. That article, by Jeffey Goldberg, is certainly not just stuff fed by the government -- Goldberg did significant legwork of his own. But I think the fact that these articles are appearing now is no coincidence.

Clinton's a Rapist (are you the same guy, Great Satan?) pretty clearly was right in his theory that the blackmailed U.S. government was unwilling to pin the blame on Iraq until we were ready to go to war with that country.

Bump. This is an independent article not getting wide distribution but very curious in its delayed timing and conclusions. Shoots big holes in the domestic source theory.

The New Yorker does not seem to have put the Jeffrey Goldberg piece, "The Great Terror," on its Web site, but here's a LINK to an interview with the author, which also contains a summary of the article:

In this week's issue, Jeffrey Goldberg reports from Kurdistan, in northern Iraq, where, in the late nineteen-eighties, Saddam Hussein waged a devastating chemical and, possibly, biological war against the Kurdish people. Today, the Kurds have achieved limited autonomy, thanks to the U.S.-British no-fly zone, but they still face the threat of ethnic cleansing. Goldberg's report also raises questions about fears of future biochemical attacks against America or Israel—as well as Iraq's possible links to Al Qaeda.

Thanks for pinging me!

Isnt this info what we knew all along....that its the terrorists who did and are doing the anthrax, not Americans?

Isnt it cute that the FBI just now releases this?

On orders from what mastermind....Bush...Ashcroft,Mueller,Cheney?

I guess its time to get us all psyched up for killing Saddam!

I just wish for once in my lifetime that our government would tell us the truth from the beginning!

Right now, I'm about code red , with anger!

If I told you that, I'd have to kill you.
