Anti-war conservatives say that this meeting never occurred and that it has been debunked.

I sure would like a definitive answer about this.

Atta met al-Ani...and he did so on more than one occasion. Several, actually. And he's not the only hijacker to meet with Iraqi agents and "diplomats," at least two others did as well, although in their cases it was in the Middle east and not Prague.

Ther's more proof, travel docs, and named sources both US and Czech on those meetings than there is on other things the press routinely assumes is true.

Yet the same people who diss the meetings are more than willing to accept swill from unnamed sources as true.

Thanks for your post!

There were challenges, but as far as I know, it has not been debunked. It and all things pointing to Iraq in the anthrax attacks have been obscured - we suspect in order to buy time for the US, UK, Israel, etc. to stockpile drugs and develop methods to deal with a biochem WMD before correcting the situation in Iraq.
