That is a most interesting paragraph, LB. Taking it apart for a minute, makes me wonder what else is underneath....and why all the descriptive words that are used as CYA....Who wrote that?

>>>>>>>>>>>"We have no credible evidence that Iraq and Al Qaeda cooperated on attacks against the United States," one of the staff reports released on Wednesday said. "Bin Laden is said to have requested space to establish training camps, as well as assistance in procuring weapons, but Iraq apparently never responded." The report said that despite evidence of repeated contacts between Iraq and Al Qaeda during the 1990's, "they do not appear to have resulted in a collaborative relationship."<<<<<<<

credible - **did they have evidence, but couldn't prove it?? as yet??**

cooperated - **did each one plot separately instead?**

is said to have--**who said this**
training--**what kind of training camps**

as (requested) assistance in procuring - **what type of assistance, and who requested assistance?**

apparently - **What --Iraq didn't leave a paper trail? How do we know that Iraq didn't respond?** (Medieval civilizations relied on horse and courier which left no trail....what makes us think this is any different?)

despite..
repeated contacts.....**Looks like we have some proof of this...**

appear...**appearances can be deceiving**

collaborative...**but did evidence exist that each group had terrorism in mind as a stand alone unit?**
