"(Editor's Note: The controversial claim that Osama bin Laden was cooperating with Saddam Hussein is an ongoing matter of intense debate. While the assertions contained in this document clearly support the claim, the sourcing is questionable — i.e., an unnamed Afghan "informant" reporting on a conversation with another Afghan "consul." The date of the document — four days after 9/11 — is worth noting but without further corroboration, this document is of limited evidentiary value.)"

In a American courtroom [where OJ goes free] we might not get a conviction. One could have reasonable doubt. One can argue about it and in twenty years we might have more information about it- though maybe you could still argue about- if anyone cared.
But for practical matters, can't we put a fork in it, and say it's done?
