Look out, anti-war gang If Saddam-9/11 link pans out, lefties will be discredited In August 2002, thugs from Saddam Hussein's secret police shot notorious terrorist Abu Nidal dead in a Baghdad residence where he had been staying as Saddam's supposed guest. The Iraqis immediately labeled Nidal's death a suicide, causing much commotion among fans of "CSI," as the man apparently shot himself four times in the head. Nidal, you may remember, was a Palestinian killer who roamed Europe and the Middle East in the '70s and '80s creating mayhem and murdering civilians. He felt right at home in Iraq. So why was he murdered? Good question. The importance of this execution may be enormous. The Sunday Telegraph of London says that a document discovered in Iraq details a meeting between Nidal and the leader of the 9/11 attack, Mohamed Atta. The document was allegedly written by Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti, the former head of the Iraqi Intelligence Service and a man still on the run. Dated July, 1, 2001, three months before 9/11, the text says that Atta, along with a man named Abu Ammer, met with Nidal for three days under the direct supervision of the Iraqi Intelligence Service. The document mentions "targets that we agree must be destroyed." If this memorandum is legitimate, it will obviously change many things, because it establishes that elusive link between Saddam and Al Qaeda. First, Howard Dean's credibility will be shattered, and he will cease to be a viable candidate for the Democrats. Second, France, Germany, Russia and the UN will be humiliated. And third, the far-left anti-war people will be marginalized for years to come in this country. One must assume the Bush administration knows about this captured document, which is now believed to be in the hands of Iraqis working for the interim government. But it has not been mentioned in any public way by the U.S. Since disinformation is common in Iraq and since the anti-Saddam Iraqi contingent was woefully wrong about WMDs, the Bush people may be prudent in keeping quiet about this until its validity is confirmed beyond a reasonable doubt. Saddam, of course, knows every devious thing his government did. This is why there should be no rush to bring him to trial. The CIA should take all the time it needs to find out everything this psychopath knows. And they should use all methods short of instrumental torture to get answers. Saddam should be deprived of sleep, loaded up with truth serum, kept isolated and underfed, confronted with noise - whatever it takes. While the United Nations and a Vatican cardinal complain about what they call his dignity, most Americans would like to be protected from another 9/11, thank you very much. With a U.S. team still searching for those annoying WMDs, with Saddam in custody, with a potentially explosive Iraqi Intelligence Service memo in play, just about anything could happen in the next few months vis- ... -vis Iraq. There are a lot of very powerful people sweating these developments, as they could be career altering. Even though he is now a common prisoner, Saddam Hussein retains a vast amount of power simply because of what he knows. It will be fascinating to see how he uses that power. nydailynews.com
