So I think it's not impossible that a crucial mental step toward this new war was taken on completely fraudulent grounds, and then retrospectively justified by heroic assumptions about unlikely contingencies. If I had to bet right now, I would bet that Saddam had nothing to do with 911. We will know in a few weeks when we start reading the files in Baghdad. However, he has certainly trained, equipped, and financed a lot of Terrorists of various stripes, many of whom are part of the Al Qaeda network. I don't think there has ever been a time in History when the masses like us have been able to know so much of what has been going on. Despite Bush's "shutdown" of info, the overall plans are out there. And a good picture of the infighting is available. We look back on major Historical events and see a smooth flow. But the reality was always the kind of ups and downs we are seeing. However this comes out, I am glad, in spite of the warts, that we had this team going in. "Moral Clarity" pisses off you "Realist" types. :>)
