The Weekly Standard?s intrepid reporter Stephen F.
Hayes noted in the magazine?s July 11, 2003, issue that
the official Babylon Daily Political Newspaper published by Hussein?s eldest son, Uday, had revealed a terrorist connection
in what it called a ?List of Honor? published a few months
earlier.xx The paper?s November 14, 2002, edition gave the
names and titles of 600 leading Iraqis and included the following
passage: ?Abid Al-Karim Muhamed Aswod, intelligence offi-
cer responsible for the coordination of activities with the Osama
bin Laden group at the Iraqi embassy in Pakistan.? That name,
Hayes wrote, ?matches that of Iraq?s then-ambassador to
Islamabad.?

Carter-appointed federal appeals judge Gilbert S. Merritt discovered
this document in Baghdad while helping rebuild Iraq?s
legal system. He wrote in the June 25 issue of the Tennessean
that two of his Iraqi colleagues remember secret police agents
removing that embarrassing edition from newsstands and con-
fiscating copies of it from private homes.xxi The paper was not
published for the next 10 days


it is amazing what people will ignore in the name of politics.
