It may be just the work of the Iraqi general peddling forged documents for cash. He seems to be quite an entrepreneur.

“• The general was offering other documents alleging malfeasance on the part of a wide array of foreign public figures noted for their support of the Hussein regime. (When Smucker met the general earlier, Rasool denied having documents dealing with any foreign politicians other than Galloway.)”

He will also prove for a price that S11 hijackers received training in Iraq.

Wow. I just read about this in the Pit today, and this thread must’ve just gone right by me. All those electrons expended in promotion of an outright fraud.  
As they said over in the Pit, no WMDs, no Al Qaeda connection, and now no bribes from Saddam to Galloway and possibly others.  
This gets stupider looking every day.
