Is there a link? The Telegraph claims it has a new document proving it. Money quote:
“We are uncovering evidence all the time of Saddam’s involvement with al-Qaeda,” said [Dr Ayad Allawi, a member of Iraq’s ruling seven-man Presidential Committee]. “But this is the most compelling piece of evidence that we have found so far. It shows that not only did Saddam have contacts with al-Qaeda, he had contact with those responsible for the September 11 attacks.”
One of the most significant aspects of capturing Saddam will be the removal of fear of his personal reprisal. We could begin to have a breakthrough in intelligence. Who knows what we will eventually find? I predict: evidence that will make this war seem even more justified than ever. Maureen Dowd must be relieved she’s on vacation.
