But just about anyone with a single synapse in their cerebral cortex will recognize al-Qaida seeks refuge in many countries around the world including Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, most of Western Europe, and probably, here, in the US. Where this administration is having difficulty in proving is that there is complicity on the Iraqi government in supporting al-Qaida in their country. With or without complicity of the local intelligence community, that is the question, I would suppose. Let's see, in America, it's a free country and there are limits on the police. In Iraq, it's a police state and nobody moves without permission. So Abu Nidal just spent four years in Baghdad on the lam, did he, without intelligence complicity? UNSCOM inspectors saw what looked like terrorist training camps full of non-Iraqis, but it's really counter-terrorism as the Iraqis claim? Saddam pays suicide-bomber families $25,000 but that's only Jews dying, so it doesn't count as terrorism? Even with the facts already on the table, its not exactly a big s-t-r-e-t-c-h to believe that Saddam supports terrorism. And a little bird tells me that we are about to see lots more evidence appear.
