Saddam's Terror Training Camps

Two points here...

First, the weekly standard barely qualifies as a news source, it can't even reach the level of credibility and unbiased reporting reached by, say, The Washington Times. When this is reported by more trustworthy sources, I'm all ears. Secondly, in addition to being possibly false, several sections are actually false...chief among them the relationship between Islamic radicals and Saddam. Far from being an assumption of intelligence officials, the lack of cooperation between the two groups is well documented and supported, and has been reported in numerous other sources. Does this mean that Iraq didn't train radical Islamic terrorists with ties to Al Qaeda? Nope, but I'll take THIS particular story with a large block of salt.

Very true. One of the editors of the Weekly Standard has his own segment on Fox News

Fox news, you don't say. Ah yes, but not nearly as fascinating and reliable as all the left wing blogs that are posted with stories daily in P/N. Of course, those certainly qualify as news sources.
 
Folks before you dignify this cr*p browse the site in the post.
It is a wacko right wing site.
No credibility. Looking thru the site I see other interesting news like how Dick Cheney is prayed for in the daily prayers of over half of Iraqs citizens.
Yeah, right.

Yeah, but we're taking about THIS particular "news" story. I fail to see how left-wing blog stories make this one any more true.
