Iran, not Iraq, had links -- unwitting or otherwise -- with the 9/11 hijackers, according to new disclosures said to be in the final report of the commission investigating the attacks on the United States.
The report is expected to reveal that 10 of the 16 hijackers involved in the 9/11 attacks were waved through the Afghanistan-Iran border in late 2000 and early 2001 as part of Teheran’s policy of not stamping their passports.
... The Iran angle raised more questions about Washington's war on Iraq. Critics say the Bush administration was so obsessed with nailing Saddam Hussain that it did not scrutinize deeply enough the alleged links to terrorism of countries like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Iran.

Keep your pants on. We're getting to them.
Even as the American media was agog with a possible Iran link, the wire service AFP , citing a German magazine, reported that a fugitive allegedly involved in the September 11 attacks has been sending email messages from Pakistan to his wife in Germany.
... Bhaiji hiding in Pakistan is in tune with the pattern of terrorist fugitives finding shelter with Washington's frontline ally. Almost all major terrorist figures, including Ramzi Yousef, Abu Zubaida, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, have been apprehended in Pakistan, not Iraq or Iran.

And I do believe we have been pressing Pakistan to come up with a "high value target" before November. Surely someone who was actually involved in the 9/11 attacks would be quite a prize for the Bushies. Maybe the Kerry team could negotiate a deal with Pakistan to wait until after November, as Reagan is alleged to have done with the Iran hostages to defeat Carter.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
