The Bush Administration deserves the utmost skepticism on matters relating to an Iraqi link to bin Laden's network -- the Bush "team" lost credibility with prior attempts (all of which failed) to make a connection that has so far proven to be nonexistent. Maybe this time there is a connection. Maybe not. But at this point any official claims should be treated as highly suspect until proven otherwise.

This "hypothesis" about Iraq providing nerve gas to al Qaeda is about as flimsy as it can be at this point. cbsnews.com <<It would also be the first direct evidence of a link between Iraq and terrorism, which the Bush administration has long said existed. Administration officials told The Post the source of the material was still unknown, and that it was uncertain the deal involved nerve gas. One official told the newspaper the report could be a mere hypothesis. Even if the sale did occur, it's not certain that the Islamic group was buying the weapons for Al Qaeda. Nor is it clear that the chemical agent was in weaponized form.>> Check the phone records from Rumsfeld's office to the Washington post if you want to track the likely "source" of this story.
