Leaders of 9/11 Panel Ask Cheney for Reports That Would Support Iraq-Qaeda Ties

WASHINGTON, June 18 — The leaders of the Sept. 11 commission called on Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday to turn over any intelligence reports that would support the White House's insistence that there was a close relationship between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.

The commission's chairman, Thomas H. Kean, and its vice chairman, Lee H. Hamilton, said they wanted to see any additional information in the administration's possession after Mr. Cheney, in a television interview on Thursday, was asked whether he knew things about Iraq's links to terrorists that the commission did not know.

"Probably," Mr. Cheney replied.

Mr. Kean and Mr. Hamilton said that, in particular, they wanted any information available to back Mr. Cheney's suggestion that one of the hijackers might have met in Prague in April 2001 with an Iraqi intelligence agent, a meeting that the panel's staff believes did not take place. Mr. Cheney said in an interview with CNBC on Thursday that the administration had never been able to prove the meeting took place but was not able to disprove it either.

1. Oh, well then.

If he "was not able to disprove it," then it must be true!

2. ooooo....I got one

Mr Cheney please disprove that you met with and supported Saddam Hussein in the 80's.


Mr. Cheney please disprove that you aided Osama bin Laden in the 80's and 90's in order to defeat the soviets.

on edit let me add...

Mr. Chensy please disprove that the company which you ran - for a tidy profit of several hundred million dollars - Hallibirton did not have business ventures with both Saddam Hussein, the Iranians, and the Taliban.

call him on it. Glad to see there are people asking for proof.
