11/16/2003 01:29:00 AM | Brad Plumer Interesting, interesting... Stephen Hayes' new article in the Weekly Standard details a "secret memo" from Doug Feith detailing the connection between Iraq and al-Qaeda. Liberals are already suspicious (here and here), and the usual racists over at Little Green Footballs are trying to figure out how they can use this info to justify nuking Palestine. And while the froth flies, here's what the Defense Department had to say about the matter: News reports that the Defense Department recently confirmed new information with respect to contacts between al-Qaida and Iraq in a letter to the Senate Intelligence Committee are inaccurate... The selection of the documents was made by DOD to respond to [a question by the Senate Intelligence Committee]. The classified annex was not an analysis of the substantive issue of the relationship between Iraq and al Qaida, and it drew no conclusions.Deplorable? Illegal? Awww... but Hayes was so excited to shout "gotcha!" at all those greasy little protesters. Cut him a little slack, yeah? At any rate, this whole story deserves a hearty "To be continued..." perma link |
