Silly analogy.

An exaggerated comparison, but not a silly one. Circumstantial evidence can be misleading. It's not all that difficult to set up timelines of circumstantial evidence to make someone guilty who you want to be guilty. But when all the fingerprints point in a different direction..you follow the direction of the fingerprints not the circumstantial evidence.

Why would Atta have met with that Iraqi intelligence agent?

No idea. But the question doesn't dictate the answer either. None of the threat matrices have come up with a connection. There was intelligence that Osama was involved in Sept 11. There was nothing on Iraq and there is no intelligence that says that Osama or Iraq was involved in the anthrax.

It appears to me that Rumsfeld wants to get Sadam and he's willing to point a finger at Sadam whether he deserves it or not in this particular situation.

I've seen plenty of comment from around the world that Bush Sr. should have taken care of Sadam. I don't necessarily agree. There are no guarantees that Sadam wouldn't be replaced by someone worse.
