Steve Hayes, of the Weekly Standard, has obtained and reviewed the report in its entirety.

He obtained it through the US mail.

They're still translating the do ents!

Again, they had Saddam himself in custody and debriefed him for months. Why didn't they obtain all the details of the direct connection between Saddam and Osama directly from one of the principals you claim to have beeen directly involved?

It never ceases to amaze me how conservatives can so shamelessly mischaracterize the intel and available information.

The evidence does not support the assertion that Saddam was ready/willing/able to coordinate with Al Qaeda to attack the US.

The evidences DOES support the assertion that Saddam viewed Al Qaeda et al. as threats to his power. Stalist dictators ruthlesslessly crush and thwart ANY threat to their power, real or imagined. So thinking that Saddam would suddenly act against his nature and normal MO can either be attributed to either 1) unfamiliarity to the way totalitatian dictators work, or 2) dishonesty.

Which is it? Ignorance or lies?

In Yoni's case, it's probably some of both...but he and his elk will continue to spin the truth, until a Democratic President pulls the troops out out of necessity, mostly because we are running out of money and fresh troops to fight the 'global war of terra', then the wing-nut media can blame the left for 'losing the war', and 'surrendering' - yeah, nevermind it was the Bush administration's failed policies in Iraq that will drive us to that point.....
