Paging Chris Garrett

Posted by orejones on October 6, 2004 at 08:33:26

You have affirmed that there were strong links between Saddam´s Iraq and Al Qaeda, on the basis of your reading of some declarations by Mr. Rumsfeld, and you questioned the reading capabilities of another inmate when he opined otherwise, to what I said that it was YOUR reading ability what should be questioned.

You came back saying that, maybe because English is not my mother tongue, I hadn´t understood what he said...

Bullshit: here´s one paragraph taken from Mr. Rumsfeld´s discourse of two days ago:

" Yes?

QUESTIONER: My name is Glenn Hutchins. Mr. Secretary, what exactly was the connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda?

RUMSFELD: I tell you, I'm not going to answer the question. I have seen the answer to that question migrate in the intelligence community over the period of a year in the most amazing way. Second, there are differences in the intelligence community as to what the relationship was. To my knowledge, I have not seen any strong, hard evidence that links the two. There are--I just read an intelligence report recently about one person who's connected to al Qaeda, who was in and out of Iraq, and there's the most tortured description of why he might have had a relationship, and why he might not have had a relationship. There are reports about people in Saddam Hussein's intelligence service meeting in one country or another with al Qaeda people from one person to another, which may have been indicative of something, or may not have been. It may have been something that was not representative of a hard linkage

.....

You have the whole issue in the link supplied.
