As for proof, I guess it depends on your definition of "indisputable".. which to many folks out here varies depending on the increasing credibility of the evidence presented. Hawk, All those links, best I can tell, relate to The New Yorker story on this same topic. I've skimmed these posts of yours and recall Goldberg's New Yorker piece. They all seem consistent with their claim that: (1) a group of radical Islamists are at work in this particular Kurdish area and the evidence seems strong; (2) the group is linked to Al Qaeda, the evidence for which is not so strong but a reasonable supposition; and (3) that the group has ties with Saddam, the evidence for which is Kurdish claims (who have a strong interest in making the claim) and little else. I still don't see the strong evidence for the link to Saddam. Where do you see something that I don't see?

<referring to 9/11 as a mere "tragedy> an enormous tragedy. "attack on our nation" ? IMHO, Not so, when compared to other world events over the last 50 or so years. Thanks for the links on Iraq : I will study the articles, before I comment on the validity or otherwise. cheers, kumar
