#2 The mass circulation Turkish daily Cumhuriyet claims in its Jan 21 edition (p.5) that the U.S. is "using" the Kurds of Iraqi Kurdistan to put pressure on Turkey and push it into offering full assistance to the invasion.

If this report is true, it appears plausible that some kind of contact between American intelligence and PKK fighters is already established.
