#3 What about Ahmed Hikmat Shakir as an operational link between Saddam and al-Q?

For what its worth Ahmed Hikmat Shakir was seen with 9/11 hijacker Khalid al-Midhar on 1/4/2000 in Kuala Lumpur. After the meeting which is believed to be one of the planning meetings for the 9/11 attack, Shakir left his job in Kuala Lumpur. Oddly, he got the job at Malaysian Airlines through a contact at the Iraqi Embassy, and told associates that the same Embassy contact told him when to come to work and when not.

Odder still there was a name found on the rolls of Fedayeen Saddam officers: Ahmed Hiqmat Shakir.

Common name? Same guy with slightly different phonetic spelling? Did the 9/11 Commission even look?

Thankfully Stephen Hayes is looking into it.

#4 I'm with you, RMcL...I'm just completely shocked!...shocked I tell ya. Didn't binny get the memo that either shia's aren't supposed to work with sunnis or fundis aren't supposed to work with "secular" gov'ts (e.g. Saddam)? Man, we must make sure binny gets a copy of that memo and ASAP! (he says with a smirk like the movie "office space.")
