According to Ken Pittman, writing in the SC reponse forum: "Al qa'eda did have a functioning operation in pre-invasion Baghdad. Not even in serious dispute, so your argument wanes by the minute."
In truth, it is extremely dangerous ( and a deliberate conspiracy theory) to compel folks to believe that there is no distinction between the Iraq regime and Al Queda and to paint a working relationship between the two. All that Stephen Hayes can come up with are several alleged overlapping contacts.
Ken Pittman is lying about the circumstances for which US troops are being daily slaughtered. SHAME.
Indeed, the current Senate hearings on pre-war intel are little short of explosive.
It is clear to all agency staff who testify that the Iraq WMD conclusion used by the Admin was erroneous. Paul Pillar, recent Mid East desk head at the CIA, explicitly refers to the Stephen Hayes type disinformation campaign used by the administration, whereby any possible link between Iraq and Al Queda is amplified and reams of information that points to an opposite conclusion is discarded.
Lawrence Wilkerson who wrote Powell's UN speech calls it the blackest day of his career and a "fraud" of which he is ashamed.
But it works for Southcoast Republican radio hosts and their band of chickenhawk listeners.
