P.S. Are you saying that you are suspicious of information released by our government post 9/11? Nothing so blanket as all that. Generally information I see is not released by the government but by some agency and it's reasonable to speculate about the motives for the release. In this case, however, I was actually thinking of something different. I don't know the history of these stories. So I was simply making the point that if they appeared in the public media after 9-11 and were meant as evidence of an Iraqi tie to 9-11, then they should be looked at with some rather large degree of skepticism. They seem to come from an Iraqi dissident group that has an extraordinarily strong interest in pushing these stories and at that time would be eager to connect them to 9-11. Obviously, had they appeared in that form prior to 9-11, then my skepticism would be reduced.
