#1 This can't be true. The MSM would have told us if it was true.

#2 Of course, the MSM is so busy getting after Bush, the poor little folks don't have time to chase down trivia.

#3 I thought the bad Doctor's presence had already been documented in some Iraqi Intelligence Service papers found in April '03? I recall the specific references to picking up hotel tabs, etc. (and seem to recall he stayed at the Mansour Melia, current home to a few western media agencies and - bizarrely - location of a decent Chinese restaurant back in the late 80s). In addition to the documentation of the details of the Iraq-AQ relationship in something that even the NYT - inexplicably - reported extensively last year, or was it in '04?

Anyway, I guess I should get around to reading "The Connection" by the young Weekly Standard author, plus his updates. He's gone to the trouble to assemble and analyze the many many pieces of the puzzle that are public.
