The New York Times leads with a piece detailing how in 2002 an al-Qaida suspect "fabricated" claims of connections between Iraq and AQ after he had been sent by the U.S. to Egypt and was at least afraid he would be tortured. Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi's comments, which he later recanted, were the main "evidence" for the White House's assertion of AQ-Saddam links. His bogus confession--which a U.S. intel agency flagged as likely B.S. back in 2002--and its connection to possible torture has been written about before. But until now it hadn't been known that he offered his false-nothings in Egypt. www.slate.com Merry Christmas!
