"...9/11 Commission members John Lehman and Democrat Richard Ben-Veniste commenting on the staff report. The highlights were that both of them clarified that the sentence in the staff report about the lack of "collaborative relationship" between Iraq and Al Qaeda referred to collaboration in planning specific terrorist attacks against the United States. Lehman specifically said that there is substantial evidence that Iraqi intelligence and Al Qaeda members did collaborate on weapons development. Also, they both alluded to the apparent existence of evidence of Iraq/Al Qaeda ties known to Vice-President Cheney but unknown to the commissioners, including the possibility (recently discovered) that one of Hussein's Fedayeen members was actually an Al Qaeda associate or member."

I've spun nothing. If you wish to negate what Lehman (and Gorton) said because he's a Republican and thus a liar in your eyes, I don't care. Funny how you now accept the few lines by Rumsfeld as Gospel.
