So now, a member of Saddam's elite group MAY HAVE BEEN directly

[keithyboy]

involved in planning 9/11 attack according to new information sent to the Commission? The shit is getting so bad it is beginning to make me laugh out loud. Just when Bush needs to prove that Saddam was linked to 9/11 because of all the heat, all of a sudden some new information is sent to the Commission about a member of Saddam's elite guard allegedly involved in planning 9/11. How long did it take for US to beat this confession out of someone and for our special ops and their friends in the ME to set this up? Did we threaten to kill some family members? This shit is getting to be sick, sick, sick. If this is just now coming out, you know it's false.

3. It's posted on Drudge. Don't flame me, but I check out a lot of sites.

It's in red posted on the left. That almost guarantees that it's a lie.

The Fedayeen were a special unit of volunteers given basic training in irregular warfare. The lieutenant colonel, Ahmed Hikmat Shakir, has the same name as an Iraqi thought to have attended a planning meeting for the Sept. 11 attacks in January 2000, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The meeting was also attended by two of the hijackers, Khalid al Midhar and Nawaf al Hamzi and senior al-Qaida leaders.

Lehman said that commission staff members continued to work on the issue and experts cautioned that the connection might be nothing more than coincidence.

"Shakir is a pretty common name," said terrorism analyst and author Peter Bergen, "and even if the two names refer to the same person, there might be a number of other explanations. Perhaps al-Qaida had penetrated Saddam's security apparatus."
