Secret report undercuts Iraq connection to WTC (1993 bombing) .

[cthrumatrix]

WASHINGTON – U.S. intelligence services unanimously agreed last fall that "no specific intelligence information" tied Iraq to U.S. terrorist attacks, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Their findings were presented to the president Oct. 2 in a still-secret report on Iraq. The summary, or "key judgments" section, of the 90-page National Intelligence Estimate was declassified Friday. WorldNetDaily obtained a copy from the National Security Council. (The report is different from the unclassified 25-page white paper the CIA made public on its website last October.)

Page 4 of the report states: "... e have no specific intelligence information that Saddam's regime has directed attacks against U.S. territory."

The statement would appear to undercut a popular theory among Iraq hawks that Baghdad conspired with al-Qaida operatives to try to blow up New York's Twin Towers in 1993, and possibly sponsored the repeat attack on them in 2001.

snip.....

So we have no intelligence to suggest an IRAQ connection. The 911 report suggests no connection....and now this.

It seems pretty apparent we have "somebody" that likes painting IRAQ as the bad guy.

1. it's widely held that the imam who is currently jailed for this

is somehow connected to iraqi secret service - in what way I have no idea but I've heard blowhards state this as common knowledge.

2. Although it is common knowledge that there was no connection

it isn't desseminated widely to challenge the oft repeated opposite version of common knowledge continually spouted by Republicans at every opportunity, although it is a downright lie.

Who will challenge it and when?

3. Excuse me but it MUST be tied to the 1993 incident

otherwise, you lose the full impact of Clinton's incompetence and chicanery. Seriously, it isn't simply Iraq, its tying all of this to Clinton and not Bush* in terms of the ultimate event on September 11, 2001.

sickening but true
