My daughter called me a freak, last week or so
alcaray — (archived)

Had a grin on her face, and it was a gesture of (sarcastic) affection. I meant no harm and if REB's feelings were hurt by my abuse, then I apologize.

Actually, I think that you guys are being "sneaky" by insisting that the committee only investigated whether an Osama/Saddam link existed that affected 9/11. What the committee said: was closer to "...reports of subsequent contacts between Iraq and al-Qaida after bin Laden had returned to Afghanistan “do not appear to have resulted in a collaborative relationship,” and added that two unidentified senior bin Laden associates "have adamantly denied that any ties existed between al-Qaida and Iraq." "

If the headline had included the word "substantive" or "meaningful" it might have been marginally clearer, but I certainly understood that that was what they meant. If you guys want to invoke the "6 degrees of separation" rule to prove some trivial Osama/Saddam link, fine. But the article and the investigation was about a link that might cause harm to Americans, or boost the prospects of the al Queda organization. Repeat: no link found.
