Argument not proof

Post #126,534 by JayMehaffey 11/18/03 2:05:38 PM Reply	Argument not proof The memo is an argument by Mr Douglas Feith that there was such a connection. It doesn't seem to be supported by others that would have read it. From what parts I have seen I don't think it's a case closed pile of information. It's important to keep in mind that the memo includes raw intelligence reports, that is information that has not be verified. The memo includes the Muhammad Atta in Prague information, which has been widely questioned. Much of the rest of it seems to consists of information that somebody in al Qaeda met with somebody from Iraqs intelligence service with no information about what the topic was. It was already known that Iraq and al Qaeda had talked to each other on and off for many years. But nothing has turned up that shows that their relation went very far. Jay

From the DOD news release- News reports that the Defense Department recently confirmed new information with respect to contacts between al Qaeda and Iraq in a letter to the Senate Intelligence Committee are inaccurate. From Conason's article- This morning Stephen Hayes, author of the Weekly Standard's controversial cover story on alleged connections between Iraq and al-Qaida, appeared with me on Brian Lehrer's WNYC radio program. Although Hayes defended his story, based on a secret prewar memo, he conceded that the headline on the piece should perhaps have been "Case Open" (as Jack Shafer suggests) instead of "Case Closed." (This reply is to you because the philbot doesn't deserve the dignity of a reply. Don't forget, the shun's the thing.) ----------------------------------------- It is much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why? Because it is easier to give someone the finger than it is to give them a helping hand. Mike Royko
