The U.S. government may have lied about the whereabouts of Mohammed Atta at a critical time in the 9/11 plot and during a period when Atta might well have met with an Iraqi agent in Prague. Why? Don’t miss Edward Epstein’s report in Slate today. I’m growing increasingly concerned that real links between Saddam, al Qaeda and even 9/11 are being obscured by government bureaucrats with asses to cover. And they’re being aided and abetted by liberal media types who don’t want to give any credence for an extra justification for the Iraq war.
