The Pentagon this week released its report documenting Saddam Hussein's support for terrorism. Unfortunately and predictably, the mainstream media misrepresented what the report actually said. While the report noted numerous connections between Iraq and al Qaeda, the media focused on the report's finding that there was no "smoking gun" (i.e., direct connection) that linked Saddam's Iraq and al Qaeda.
Power Line did an excellent job of covering this issue, so, instead of offering my own commentary, I'll direct you to that blogs items.
The Connection, take 54
The Connection, Take 55
The connection, take 56
As noted by William Kristol in "take 56," the Bush administration has apparently decided to plea nolo contendere when it comes to reexamining the case for removing Saddam from power. I personally believe that such a reexamination needs to take place and that it why I wrote "Sins of the Husband." I hope that such a reexamination is part of the debate leading up to this November's election.
