The Telegraph found the file on bin Laden inside a folder lying in the rubble of one of the rooms of the destroyed intelligence HQ.

What the hell? Haven't our spooks been through all these buildings yet? I mean this is the Iraqi Intelligence HQ, how could something like this be missed and left to a news agency to discover? This is very damning news that seems to specifically implicate Saddam having a relationship with bin Hidin; makes me almost think that it's a plant.

I don't want it to be a fraud but the circumstances seem too perfect; I hope it is actually for real.

Interesting part at the bottom of the report also mentions France giving information to Baghdad on private meetings that France had with the US

Kinda makes you wonder huh? But either way it would be a loose loose situation for Bush to the consiracy minded. Either:

a) Our intelligence (spooks) already went though there and left some stuff for "independants" to find.
b) Or these news people planted it because our intell would not have missed it on thier walk-though.
c) The spooks intentinally left it the real evidence there for the independant media to find.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until something comes about to disprove these connections.:)

I don't know why they did not shread these docu- oh, that's right, they were using the shredders for humans.

And for why a newspaper found it and not intel guys....

I was curious, and still am, but think about it.

Let's say this building is the size of our FBI (a conservative estimate), then that is like a city block, reduced to rubble. Now there is no way the US troops can search every govt building that size, or chord it off so no one gets in.

It could be a fake, but this newspaper is not a tabloid, so I don't know.

And that was when the Soviets were in Afganistan. So what. Do you have anything to point to that says the CIA has been working with him since he established al-Qaida?
In fact, while he returned to his family?s construction business, bin Laden had split from the relatively conventional MAK in 1988 and established a new group, al-Qaida, that included many of the more extreme MAK members he had met in Afghanistan.
Most of these Afghan vets, or Afghanis, as the Arabs who fought there became known, turned up later behind violent Islamic movements around the world. Among them: the GIA in Algeria, thought responsible for the massacres of tens of thousands of civilians; Egypt?s Gamat Ismalia, which has massacred western tourists repeatedly in recent years; Saudi Arabia Shiite militants, responsible for the Khobar Towers and Riyadh bombings of 1996.

This is interesting, now two newspapers are reported in on the find and one of them is Canadian.

Papers: Documents Show Iraq-Al Qaida Link

Middle East - AP

Papers: Documents Show Iraq-Al Qaida Link
22 minutes ago


LONDON - Two newspapers reported that they found documents in the bombed out headquarters of Iraq intelligence service that appear to show that Saddam Hussein regime met with an al-Qaida envoy in 1998 and sought to arrange a meeting with Osama bin Laden.

Papers found by reporters working for the Toronto Star and Britain's Sunday Telegraph appear to show that purpose of the meeting was to establish a relationship between Baghdad and al-Qaida based on their mutual hatred of the United States and Saudi Arabia, the newspapers reported in their Sunday editions.

why is everyone so shocked that the media got to this before the gov't? Hell, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of journalists in that country with nothing to do but snoop around. WHen they find information like this, they usually tell the respective gov't. Then the respective gov't allows them to publish that information. Hence, the reporters are doing our gov't dirty work. I think it's a win-win situation.

I'm guessing they were planted... If they weren't then our government/spy agency is a joke.

Has anybody discovered CIA papers showing we were working with Osama too. The question is, are we safe yet or do we need to kill and kill some more. I know if they find a birthday card from Saddam to Osama, I'm going to feel alot better about the catastrophe we created with Iraq.

Of course, that makes perfect sense. Because everyone knows that our priority right now is to find documents instead of restoring electricity, providing food and water, providing security both for the Iraqi people and our troops, establishing an interim government as well as laying groundwork for an independent Iraq, keeping Iranian agents at bay, locating Iraqi war criminals, searching suspected WMD sites, gathering weapons and ammunition ...

The stories keep rolling in . . .

"I know if they find a birthday card from Saddam to Osama, I'm going to feel alot better about the catastrophe we created with Iraq."

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard you say, Moonie. I didn't know it was George Bush who was using the oil-for-food money to buy all those golden toilets and starve, torture, and dismember the Iraqi people.

Is that what peace means to you? Sitting back and letting people be tortured, killed, raped, and everything else? I can't believe you haven't heard the stories that have come out after Saddam's fall. Scarily enough if you were President you would have done nothing and you would have let that continue. Thank God you're not.
