Dear Patricia C.Trinchero Thank you for the links and confirmation. It appears to me that 'wstera_02' is agitated that the government refuses to pay him Workman's Compensation. Yet, wstera 'supports' the Bush Administration. This unfortunate young man appears incapable of understanding how our system really works. Kind Regards, lb

Actually your article cites the 9/11 report & then somehow uses this report to claim there was no link between Iraq & Al Qaeda. This report was only about the 9/11 terrorist attacks & nothing else. It's already a fact that there were multiple Iraqi/Al Qaeda connections unrelated to 9/11. You can cite all the left wing media reports to the contrary, I'll stick to multiple sources of credible evidence that came from Iraq & our intelligence services, etc. However, the Bush Administration never linked Iraq to 9/11. That's a fact. It' was democratic politicians & liberal media that made multiple false allegations that the Bush Administration linked Iraq to 9/11. That false perception became urban myth. You see, democratic politicians & liberal media have told so many lies solely for political gain that it's no wonder folks are so confused about who said what & who lied to whom. When you can link me to verbatim quotes by a senior Bush Administration official, from a specific speech that can be independently verified, then I will join you in Blaming the Bush Administration for making misleading statements. <font size=4> Until then I will be absolutely dumbfounded at the left for their relentless use of outrageous lies, blatant distortions & intentional deceit while simultaneously, albeit falsely claiming that it's the Bush Administration that lies & misleads. Simply astounding!

"I remember they made strong inferences about a meeting between Atta and one of Saddam's men." That's but one link between Iraq & Al Qaeda. And media outlets like the NYT implied a link between Iraq & 9/11, but they also cited Iraqi officials denying any such meeting (like Tarik Aziz was Mr. Honesty). Then the NYT reversed course on the issue. Blah, blah, blah. <font size=4> Which senior Bush Administrations publicly made a link between Iraq & 9/11? Answer: NONE

"I remember they made strong inferences about a meeting between Atta and one of Saddam's men." <font size=4> Iraqi intelligence officer in U.S. hands Detainee once alleged to have met with 9/11 attacker in 2001 <font size=3> Tuesday, July 8, 2003 WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An Iraqi intelligence officer identified as Ahmed al Ani, who at one time was reported to have met with September 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta, is in U.S. hands, officials said Tuesday. Shortly after the attacks of September 11, 2001, Czech Republic authorities told U.S. officials that they had evidence the two men had met in Prague in April of that year. <font size=4> U.S. officials, however, said they had no evidence that Atta ever went to Prague, and had indications that he might have been in the United States when the meeting supposedly took place. <font size=3> A senior Pentagon official said al Ani was picked up by U.S. military forces in Iraq last week but could not say whether he was still in military custody. Al Ani was somewhere between 200 and 300 on the military's list of most-wanted Iraqis, but was also sought by the FBI, the official told CNN. The circumstances of al Ani's capture were not disclosed. <font size=4> Any evidence showing al Ani met with Atta would further the theory that Iraq had some role in the September 11 attacks. <font size=3> CNN national security correspondent David Ensor and senior Pentagon correspondent Jamie McIntyre contributed to this report. us.cnn.com
