Abu Mussab al Zarqawi -- a Jordanian -- was recently accused by Jordanian officials of masterminding the assassination of U.S. diplomat Laurence Foley in Amman in late October.

And Zarqawi has been linked to some of the men arrested recently in London and accused of possessing the deadly poison ricin.

Okay. This should shut up the weenies who claim there's no Al Quaida in Iraq. Smoking gun time?

[sissyjane]

Cnn has asked Iraq for a response? Priceless!

I doubt it. They wouldn't believe it even if Hussein showed up on TV wearing a "I Support Al Qaeda!" t-shirt...

Is the Bush team starting to leak morsels to the press in anticipation of the strike?

Thought that was rather humorous myself. Delusions of grandeur perhaps?

I don't think anything will shut them up.

Thanks for the post. CNN is almost always behind the learning curve. This just reported by CNN.... sun rises in east. CNN means Commonsense Never Noted.
Of course, Iraq has been promoting terrorism for years, including al-queada or whatever the network of murderers call themselves today. Maybe some day CNN will note Saudi involvement as well. It's a nest of vipers.

Here's an unreported story: CNN is linked to Iraq's anti-American activities through Scott Ritter...

[ravingnutter]

Here is a link to another FR thread where I posted links to many articles showing the association between Iraq and Al Queda...I have been reporting on this on FR for over a month now...this is not new info, but is exactly what I was expecting to be revealed when all else failed to convince the anti-war commies. Bush is playing his trump card.

CNN has asked Iraq for its reaction and is waiting for its response.

Oh yeah, now there's a wise move!

[doug from upland]

I am sure CNN could ask for Will Pitt's help in this. Oh, that's right. They think he is a lunatic.

Wondering why it is that almost all of these perps look like gang-bangers from US prisons.

They haven't paid attention to any of the news they reported since 9/11

I doubt the media will start paying attention to the news they report now
