partially wrong - the commission is not saying there is a link between
al-Qaeda and Iraq. At all.
``Our position is firm, unchanged and committed to our previous
finding,'' said Roemer, a former congressman from Indiana. ``We have
not discovered collaboration-cooperation between al-Qaida and Iraq in
general terrorist activities across the world, against the United
States.''
the above quote from a commission spokeperson was found at
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Sept-11-Commission.html
I do seem to recall that the news stories that covered the divergence
between perceptions of Fox viewers and actual events cited statements
by the president but hey... let me see if I can substantiate that. I
think that I think Bush is a liar because of stories like this but I
suppose it is just barely possible that I remember wrong because I
think Bush is a liar... It will take a little more digging than I have
time for right now to be sure but I *will* look. It should be in the
archives actually, I posted the article at the time.
