shadowman > Some fairly credible sources have disputed the claim that Salman Pak was a "terrorist training " facility.

newyorker.com

>>In separate interviews with me [Hersh], however, a former C.I.A. station chief and a former military intelligence analyst said that the camp near Salman Pak had been built not for terrorism training but for counter-terrorism training.

Salman Pak was overrun by American troops on April 6th [2003]. Apparently, neither the camp nor the former biological facility has yielded evidence to substantiate the claims made before the war.<<

Aviation Week is a credible source...and some of you think the LA Times is as well... Here are some of the links to Salman Pak...

Salman Pak, Iraq, a known biological and chemical weapons facility located about 20 miles southeast of Baghdad. This Satellite photo was taken on April 25, 2000 demonstrating an airliner, among other tools, for terror training which has been linked to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Look at the airliner fuselage in the bottom lefthand side of the image. What's an airliner doing within a highly secure bioweapons facility that has no runways? In fact, there are multiple eyewitnesses who have stated that non-Iraqi Islamic fundamentalists from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States were brought to Salman Pak to learn the “art” of hijacking in groups of 4-5 men using unconventional weapons such as short knives, etc. Khidhir Hamza, Ph.D., the head of Iraq’s nuclear program for over twenty years (“Saddam’s bomb maker”) testified to these facts before the Senate on July 31, 2002. On April 6, 2003, our Marines went into the Salman Pak facility, found the airliner and other tools for terror training (all as described in the image above) as well as non-Iraqi Islamic fundamentalists from Egypt, Syria, and other Gulf States. It will be interesting to see what materials they pull out of there.
