Here and There, Apr. 26

The proof that Saddam worked with bin Laden: Iraqi intelligence documents discovered in Baghdad by The Telegraph have provided the first evidence of a direct link between Osama bin Laden's al-Qa'eda terrorist network and Saddam Hussein's regime. I'm shocked, as they say, shocked.

Oh, and the Sunday Times reports that documents found in the Iraqi foreign ministry reveal that "Paris shared with Baghdad the contents of private transatlantic meetings and diplomatic traffic from Washington". Who would have guessed?

Holocaust Survivor Meets Holocaust Denier: Congressman Tom Lantos met with Baby Doc Assad in Damascus today, and by this account it was a one-sided conversation: shape up, cut-off support for the Hizbullah and other terrorist groups, and pull-out of Lebanon. No word yet on Baby Doc's response.

If you thought that Thabo Mbeki's position on AIDS was nutty, did you know the South African government believes that SARS is a good thing?

So let me get this straight.... the war in Iraq WAS part of the war on terrorism and not just a distraction? Really.

This is just too much.... George says there's a link between Saddam and Al Q, and there is. George says that there are WMDs and there are. George says that Saddam is a torturer, and he is. I am SO NOT ready to be told the truth....

Now, just what is the definition of IS? Monica, help me out here, please......
