Iraq went on high alert hours before the 9/11 attacks
According to Saddam--King of terror, a rather good biography of Saddam by Con Coughlin, On 9/11 several hours before the 9/11 Attacks, Iraq went on High military Alert and Saddam and many of his closest confidants hid out in his safest bunker complex.
He also speaks of several meetings between high iraqi intelligence officers and Al-Q representatives from the Sudan.

4. Yeah, so did the State of Florida
And how did 'Con Coughlin' manage to get this information? An Iraqi source named 'Chalabi', perhaps?

:eyes:

BTW, this is really ripe propaganda...I smelled it all the way over in LBN...

5. Silly, those "iraqi intelligence officers" will say anything
when they're high.

They once told me that Ann Coulter was a man.
