#1 Calculated a batting average for this, Paul? Lol! I love how they just cannot handle the OBL / AlQ / Saddam connection - in spite of the excellent investigative work by Stephen F Hayes, such as this story - in which such customarily clueless orgs as Newsweek, ABC, and even NPR finally "get it"... Alas, the Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey 9/11 twerps never really do...

Here's an op-ed piece from the NY Post to further muddy the water.

For so much detail about AlQ timing, plans, aborts, rewrites, etc. - they still manage to swing! -- and miss!

#2 The Commission stated that there was no connection between AQ and Iraq with respect to attacks on the US (ie, 9/11). To the uninformed, stupid, or leftist, this means no connection at all, whereas in reality (as .com's NY Post link indicates) there is a wealth of connections.

#3 After seeing the panel in action, did anybody expect actual results? Grandstanding, and giving the papers a nice juicy headline, is all the commission was ever expected to deliver. And deliver they did.

#4 There is no evidence the Saudi Arabian government or senior officials within it funded al-Qaeda. However, al-Qaeda was able to get money from a variety of Saudi charities that, until recently, were subject to little oversight.

Have any of these people ever heard of the term "laundering"???
