Re: WSJ's article on Terrorists, and Salman Pak...and

But first, believe it or not, that was respectful...I didn't mention quite a few other "sources"....although heaven only knows, most have been printed here with "huzzzas...."

Wonder when "some" of the folks who actually can read, will?
We here on FADG have read about Salman Pak for well over a year...maybe two. Some of the people outside SI are going to think this is a "new found piece of info..." Some of those same folks see no connection to Saddam and 9-11...

The Salman Pak camp 20 miles south of Baghdad has also been taken thanks, says CentCom, to information obtained from captured foreign fighters of various nations, including Sudan and Egypt. The camp even possessed an airline fuselage. We suspect it wasn't for training Air France pilots.

A reasonable assumption is that the fuselage, the train cars and a burned-out double-decker bus also discovered at Salman Pak were the stuff of hijacker training. This supports the statements of two former Iraqi military officers who in the fall of 2001 told PBS's "Frontline" and the New York Times that Iraqis and non-Iraqi Arabs went to Salman Pak to practice hijacking planes and trains, planting bombs and staging assassinations. Now's a good time to start exploring whether any of the September 11 hijackers are graduates of Salman Pak or other terrorist-training camps in Iraq
