Re: ...and if you continue skipping, we'll be led to believe that you are some terrorist, at least in an intellectual way... LOL! I'm afraid it doesn't fall to Judeofascists to tell who's a terrorist and who isn't... so, you may just as well cut your idle threats... lest you'd end up on the receiving end of it (there're still a few cells available in Guantanamo). Talking of terrorism: Iraqi Terror Hasn't Hit U.S. in Years, CIA Says James Risen New York Times Service Wednesday, February 6, 2002 WASHINGTON The Central Intelligence Agency has no evidence that Iraq has engaged in terrorist operations against the United States in nearly a decade, and the spy agency also is convinced that Saddam Hussein has not provided chemical or biological weapons to Al Qaeda or related terrorist groups, according to several U.S. intelligence officials. American intelligence officials said they believe the last terrorist operation by Iraq against the United States was a botched attempt to assassinate former President George Bush during his 1993 visit to Kuwait. That plot was disrupted before it could be launched, and U.S. intelligence officials believe Mr. Saddam has been reluctant to use terrorism since then for fear of being detected. George Tenet, the CIA director, is scheduled to testify Wednesday before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about the global threats facing the United States. During his appearance, his first before Congress since Sept. 11, Mr. Tenet is likely to be asked about a wide range of terrorism-related issues, including Iraq. [...] Since Sept. 11, there has been widespread speculation about possible Iraqi links to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, based largely on reports of a meeting in Prague between Mohamed Atta, who is believed to have been the leader of the Sept. 11 hijack teams, and an Iraqi intelligence officer. The intelligence reports about that meeting have been the subject of intense analysis and debate within the U.S. intelligence community, and some officials have questioned whether the meeting took place at all. Now senior U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that the meeting between Mr. Atta and the Iraqi officer, Ahmed Khalil Samir al-Ani, did occur, but they say that they do not know what was discussed and they do not believe the meeting itself is enough evidence to tie Iraq to the Sept. 11 attacks. Some experts say that, even if Iraq were somehow involved in Sept. 11, Mr. Saddam never would have entrusted such a sensitive matter to a mid-level intelligence officer like Mr. al-Ani. U.S. intelligence officials said they believed that Iraqi intelligence now focuses most of its resources on helping to evade and violate the trade and economic sanctions that have been imposed on the regime since the Gulf War.
