"you think you have testimonial evidence" >>

This is why I said it would be a waste of time to talk to you. Even when you are dead wrong you just keep asserting your personal opinion as if it overrides real facts.

<< "I think all the public testimonial by the Bush adminstration about Syria promoting terrorism in Iraq would be immediately dismissed as heresay if it were entered into a case as "evidence"." >>

Testimonial evidence is admissible in a court of law despite your faulty OPINION that it is unreliable even for purposes of a discussion on the internet *. It's up to the fact finders to establish the relevance & reliability of that evidence.

Currently serving senior officials in the Executive Branch would be considered to be among the most reliable people to give testimonial evidence on a matter like Syria's involvement in terrorism in Iraq. Having multiple Sr Bush Admin officials all making similar assertions would make that testimonial evidence even more credible.

As I've already said, they do have access to intel to substantiate their claims - claims so serious they would justify military action against Syria. So if those claims were false on their face, every one of those officials would be facing severe time in jail for making them.

Now I'm done beating that horse. Feel free to waste bandwidth on it if you wish.
