If you are going to present a compelling argument that the Iraqi government supported the 9/11 attack, then you are going to have to do more than argue that Atta met with an Iraqi government agent.

But that's all I've been trying to say at this point: Atta met with an Iraqi government agent. You see, you were denying even this (based on your imagined model of how terrorists behave). But I'm glad you've stopped and we're now on the same page.

I have studied terorrist groups extensively.[...] This is not a "mental model of terrorists" that exists only in my head. This is how terrorist groups act.

CZECH INTELLIGENCE SAYS THERE WAS A MEETING. If you're going to doubt this based on no evidence whatsoever, but rather based on your "studies" of how "terrorists behave", then you most definitely are projecting your mental model of terrorists out onto the real world. Remember, CZECH INTELLIGENCE SAYS THERE WAS A MEETING. It's good to keep facts in mind when trying to apply your "studies" to the real world.

Hopefully we are not planning to attack Iraq because Atta allegedly met with an Iraqi government official. As I have said repeatedly, I highly doubt that Atta shared any information about the 9/11 attack with the Iraqi government official. If he did not share the information with some of the 9/11 terrorists, then he most assuredly would not discuss the operation with the Iraqi government. Furthermore, the Bush administration needs to show some evidence that the Iraqi government supported the attacks.
