Power Line has an extended and very useful commentary on how article by Dana Milbank and Walter Pincus in the WaPo attack Cheney and the Administration’s claims that there were connections between al Qaeda and Saddam. Worth a careful read, and follow links. Also note that Husam al-Yemeni has been captured in Iraq. He is said to be part of the leadership structure of Ansar al-Islam, the Al Qaeda-associated terrorist group based in Iraqi Kurdistan. Some U.S. officials described al-Yemeni as the first Al Qaeda operative captured in Iraq.
Very interesting article. Am I cynical about the power of blogs, or should such an article not be printed in journal so non-committed republicans could read about it as well? Preaching to the choir is important, but if it’s going to have any other effect, it needs to get a larger audience... surely some paper would print it?
