<< We do have intelligence reports coming out that Saddam is giving bioweapons to the Pals in addition to the $20 million he has already spent on "shaheed" families. All we know for sure is that the Pals have not tried to use such weapons - yet. >> Nadine, These are serious allegations. If there is evidence to suggest Saddam has already given away biologic weapons to Palestinian terrorist groups then that would easily qualify as a bona fide reason to invade Iraq and replace the regime now. But I suspect these "intelligence reports" are mere speculation with no basis for facts. Even the British dossier which you alluded to earlier does not say that Saddam has already given away biologic weapons to terrorist groups but is possibly intent on doing so in the future. Let me summarize. The Bush Administration has repeatedly asked the CIA to look for a direct link between Saddam, al-Qaida, and the events leading to 9/11. There has been no evidence for such a connection. Could you kindly reproduce the report suggesting Saddam has given away biologic weapons to terrorists? And I don't think Debka would qualify as a credible source of intelligence information which could pass mustard to the scrutiny of peer review on this thread.
