#3 The cockroaches have crawled out from under the outhouses. Welcome back you al-Qaeda slim. We had reason to believe you were visiting Uncle Saddam. Oh yes, I know...you esacaped the Great Satan in Tora Bora in one piece. Round Two is about to begin. Place your bets.

#6 SMH, as I gather from the inimitable Tim Blair , bats from the left side of the plate. Of course that's a generalization, but I wouldn't look for them to reprint anything Bush-vindicating unless they believed it true.
Not that it wouldn't be easy to backpedal, what with all the "claim," "believe," and "if" going around.

#7 The Scotsman is an extremely reliable newspaper; just the facts, most of the time. They also seem to have reporters with extensive knowledge and incredible sources. MB has been using their stuff for well over a year, now.
