#1 If this is true, and we knew Kadaffi was pumping money into the ASG, I wonder what Sadam's connection to Kadaffi is?

#4 Didn't Saddam Hussein get start-up information for his nuclear program from Qaddafi? (I think that spelling is prettier) Which Qaddaffi had gotten from A.Q. Khan of Pakistan, and which AQK had gotten from China? Also Capt. Ed talks about documents showing Qaddafi moved the $$ and weapons to Abu Sayyaf that Saddam Hussein provided.

It's going to get interesting as more documents are made public.

#5 I don't mind givng attributions where do, but the author here, Stephen Hayes, literally wrote the book, "Connections".

Moreover, the Powerline folks have not reported the Philippinies terror connection as of yet.

In reality, there are several sources tracking these unfolding results. Let's not minimize one source by touting others. Each is making their own unique contribution. Sheesh.

#6 In fact, Captain Ed is citing the same Steve Hayes article on his web site as HIS source.

#7 Correction: the Powerline boyz are citing the same article as cited here, again, the source is Steve Hayes' article.

#8 CA - links to others that provide insight are not bad, even if there's one original source. Otherwise Dan Rather might still be employed, Capische?

#9 Meant no effort to hide or diminish Hayes' work. Just like Claudia Rosette's at the UN - they do the tough legwork and original analysis and should get the credit. Others can add on.....

#10 Otherwise Dan Rather might still be employed, Capische?

My sentiments also. For example, Powerline really benefited from Free Republic on the Rather caper.

Too bad RB doesn't have a separate page for indexing Iraqi files materials and sources. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Lot's of linkages to the infamous terrs db.

#11 We all thought the money was getting to the ASG through the OIC and Qaddafi, (thanks TW for the spell check). There are half a dozen muzzie NGO's in Zamboanga pumping money and aid into the ASG and MILF areas. I can't wait till we get the Iranian link and the circle will be complete.

#12 Not a spell check, 49 Pan, just an aesthetic preference. When you're dealing with transliterations from a language whose sounds don't have a one-for-one correspondence, preference is pretty much all there is. Think of the various spelling for Hanukkah (Ch, nn, k, no h) or Jehovah/Yahweh/YHVH, f'r instance.

#13 Thanks, I learn something new every day on Rantburg, great site-great folks.

Was .com booted or just on holiday?

#14 .com booted? pshaw! - tending to his loving-side, I expect :-)

#15 I hope so, our resident troll assassin needs to get back on patrol.

#16 It won't matter to the Left save as more things to spin in their favor - eight years of Clinton for the Left justified Leftism-Socialism once, before, and forever. 9-11 and the WOT is about forcing SWO and OWG on unsuspecting America, more popularly known as Power and Control - facts are not facts. etc. unless the Left/MSM, and only the Left/MSM, says its the same. America volunteering to give up its sovereignty = America being forced to = America being defeated-destroyed =...THE LEFT T'AINT GONNA CARE.

#17 Resident troll assassin! I love it, pan! That's a keeper. I, too, was worried about .com after the cleanups with the sinktrap a few weeks ago. I thought he might have tired of it. However, earlier this week, he popped in and said he was doing fine. Gettin' a lil' "R&R" if you know what I mean.
