Cheney called Feith's findings,-"the best source of information" on links between SH and al-Qaid

recall that comment?

this is one of the best newspapers write ups on the Report:

..... Feith's unit, however, found that there were "multiple areas of cooperation" between Iraq and al-Qaida, "more than a decade of numerous contacts" and "shared interest and pursuit of WMD (weapons of mass destruction)," the Pentagon response said.

The unit cited as its strongest evidence a purported April 2001 meeting in the Czech capital of Prague between a senior Iraqi intelligence officer and Mohamed Atta, who led the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon several months later.

At the time, the CIA had doubts about reports of the meeting, and the agency and the FBI subsequently concluded that it never took place.

As late as January 2004, Cheney called Feith's findings, which also were leaked to the conservative Weekly Standard magazine, "the best source of information" on links between Saddam and al-Qaida, even though the Pentagon and the CIA had disavowed the conclusions of Feith's office.

McClatchy Newspapers correspondent Warren P. Strobel contributed to this report.

1. The conversation I imagined that went on

Feith: you can't just make this stuff up

Cheney: who say's you can't?

2. The "only" source is by definition the "best" source

Delusional thinking can be so lonely without a co-pilot, can't it Dick?

And now Feith is reduced to arguing niggling points of rhetoric to keep his sorry ass from being indicted and sent off to the slammer. Say hi to Bob Ney when you get where you're going, Doug.

3. And this is why Feith had to go, and another clone took his place...n/t
