The "Historical Revisionism" going on forgets items like these.

"In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the Government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the Government of Iraq."

The quote comes from the 1998 indictment<font size=3> usinfo.state.gov. <font size=4>of bin Laden and al Qaeda for the bombings of American embassies in Africa.

As a famous Soviet dissident joke put it: <font color=blue><font size=3>"In the Soviet Union, the future is known; it's the past which is always changing."

In the 1990s, President Clinton and his administration released numerous bits of intel and information on Bin Ladin and Saddam Hussein to the press. As a result, The New York Times, as well as Newsweek, and NPR each ran stories documenting his ties to Bin Ladin. Yesterday, the 9/11 commission confirmed those ties, and admonished the press for ignoring them. Was Saddam directly tied to 9/11? President Bush never said he was. But clearly, Iraq and Al Qaeda were quite cozy with each other. Something the press spent the past decade documenting when it benefited one administration, and the past three years chucking down the memory hole when it hindered another.<font color=black><font size=3>
