Saddam’s Fedayeen was “a very prominent member of al Qaeda"
2004-06-21
June 21st, 2004 /DEBKAfile’s report:

Information that lieutenant colonel in Saddam’s Fedayeen was “a very prominent member of al Qaeda” has reached 9/11 bipartisan commission - according to member John Lehman in NBC’s Meet the Press. If confirmed, he said, Cheney was right and panel would modify final report to reflect evidence reversal.

#8  Careful with this one. Lehman has a bad habit of spouting off. He could have simply read it in the WSJ article a few weeks back. I am not sure he is doing a service to the administration with this one.

#6  AK Paul & Carl NH -

Democrat spin : This Fedayeen individual had no links to al-Qaeda. He was a member of "Al the Cicada" singing insect fan club. The arrest is a horrible error.

This is no insurgent. He is a music fan. It's like someone here who likes Elton John. . . - Terry McAuliffe, DNC

John Kerry will spend $10 million in ads condeming the arrest of a man who only likes a music performed by a man whose nickname became , "Red Eyed Bug", hence the stage name "Al the Cicada".

#4  Why in the hell is John Lehmen, et al even meeting with the media when they are in the middle of an investigation? The 9-11 commission should take testimony, evidence, etc, and sit down and think and deliberate, and issue a report. But of course the 9-11 commission is not really about finding answers, with all the media exposure junkies aboard.

#1  Doesn't that fly in the face of conventional NYT, LAT, Democratic Underground thinking? Hasn't the LCol read the 9/11 report?

What is the world coming to when we let truth get in the way of the liberal-think.
