Rush Limbaugh Rewrites 9-11 Report To Deceive Us: Rush reinvents the 9/11 report A key part of the Bush administration's case that Iraq and al-Qaida were dangerously in cahoots rested on the assertion that lead 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta met with Saddam's intelligence agents in Prague not long before the attacks. The bipartisan 9/11 commission discredited that assertion last week in a staff statement: "We have examined the allegation that Atta met with an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague on April 9. Based on the evidence available -- including investigation by Czech and U.S. authorities plus detainee reporting -- we do not believe that such a meeting occurred." Radio host Rush Limbaugh, however, offered a different version of the 9/11 commission's findings during his June 17 broadcast: "The [9/11 commission] report said that Mohamed Atta did meet with an Iraqi Intelligence Agency, or agent, in Prague on April 9th of 2001. We've known this for a long time." Even so, on the same broadcast, Limbaugh parroted the administration line that the Bush White House never tried to link 9/11 to Saddam. "Bush and Cheney have never, ever linked 9/11 to Iraq and Al-Qaeda. There are countless bits of evidence of connections between Iraq and Al-Qaeda, but nobody in the administration ever said there was to 9/11." Nobody? Huh Rush? How About Cheney on Meet The Press saying Atta met with Iraqi Inteligence in Prague before 9-11, and saying this AFTER the story has been debunked.
