Nice primer on Iran/al-Qaeda
Most of this information seems pretty accurate, though I'm not too certain of the source. The stuff about the Taliban and Iran being in cahoots pre-9/11 strikes me as more than a little improbable given what happened in Mazar-e-Sharif, but it is true that post-9/11 Taliban officials and propaganda outlets have claimed to have received assistance from Iran.While the world remains fixated on the situation in Iraq, the Bush Administration seems equally concerned with Iran. As the world's most intense (in quantity and quality) sponsor of international terrorism, and a rogue state in search of weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, the specter of an alliance between Al-Qaeda terrorists and the fundamentalist Iran is indeed a scary one. Accusations by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and President Bush show that this is indeed the case. This article will examine if the evidence has been stretched or even falsified.
