Could it just be that 'the targets'

Could it be that Messrs Bush

Could it be that this document provides

SPECULATION....the stock-in-trade of British "News?papers"

Could it be that it does not matter—at all?

Saddam was a tyrant and a monster along the lines of Hitler, Pol Pot et. al. Now he is caught and will be tried for his crimes. The very idea that ANYONE, either in the West or the Arab world would have second thoughts about his ouster is ludicrous. But, there are such people. The Palestinians are overwhelmingly "sad" by their benefactor's capture—a rat in a hole. Arabs all over the Arab world are "embarrassed" at yet another Arab "hummiliation." [Sigh] Odd that their despotic leaders who support Islamic terrorism don't embarrass them?

These people thrive on negativity, which is not the American way. We are a positive people. :-) Americans solve problems, Americans build, while others tear-down and whine about their misfortune or their "fate" as being Allah's will.

Let me see if I can get this straight. Abu Nidal, Palestinian Terrorist, may have provided know-how & help to Mohammad Atta, General Jihadi, while he was living under the protection of Saddam Hussein, Secular Dictator.

What's the connecting link? Ahh, they're all Catholic.

Damned Illuminati.

Victory in Iraq with the capture of Saddam Hussain.
Meanwhile treachery at home

as 'British' Muslims want Bush and Blair to stand trial alongside Saddam.
There is something that is really rotting in Britain.

When did Abu Nidal "commit" suicide? It was before the US assault and well after 9/11.

I wonder if there was any connection.

But it doesn't fit the paradigm, Melanie. You understand? Bush lied, people died, and the sixty or so percent of Americans who believe there to be a Saddam-9/11 connection are just a bunch of redneck yahoos who've been bamboozled by the Bush propaganda machine.

If nothing else this lends the lie to the idea that Saddam's capture was somehow orchestrated as a news management stunt (as the egregious Baghdad Jim McDermott is now claiming). If it's true, it's almost as big news as bagging Saddam himself, for it gives an explicit casus belli to the Coalition. The White House press team should be pumping this story for all it's worth.

Another bonus: no more will the naysayers be justifiably able to paint Americans as unlettered rubes for believing Saddam was involved in 9/11 (they won't stop of course, but the charges will be unjust).

Yes - Con's story has been mostly ignored by the rest of the British media.

Anyone who's interested, the journal I write for obtained a copy of the document in question. Please take a look:

http://focusonthetruth.blogspot.com/

"Iraqi officials working for the interim government are convinced of its authenticity, even though they decline to reveal where and how they obtained it"

"A leading member of Iraq's governing council, who asked not to be named, said he was convinced of the document's authenticity."

Where this document was found, how it was found, and by whom it was found? These are not details we should know?

What an extraodinary piece of journalism.
The Telegraph reaches another milestone.

"Americans build, while others tear-down"

oh you are funny Lili.

Dubious link between Atta and Saddam:

The quote from Con Couglin is priceless - "no way of verifying it. It's our job as journalists to air these things and see what happens,"

Looks like Con Coughlin has previous form:
"Nearly 25 years later, readers of the Sunday Telegraph were regaled with with the dramatic story of the son of Libya's Colonel Gadafy and his alleged connection to a currency counterfeiting plan. The story was written by Con Coughlin, the paper's chief foreign correspondent and it was falsely attributed to a "British banking official". In fact, it had been given to him by officers of MI6, who, it transpired, had been supplying Coughlin with material for years."
