Laurie Mylroie is a neocon at the outer envelop. She has only a thin wisp of thread left back to the reality the rest of us occupy. She has claimed that Saddam Hussein is behind kust about every major terrorist attack since the first Gulf War, including the Oklahoma bombings in 1995, 9-11 of course, and even the souring of milk in the elementary schools of our nation (ok, on the last point I exaggerate). Your author could sincerely believe what he wrote, but that doesn't make it true. His association with Mylroie, however, puts his honesty and ethics (imo) at serious risk.

I don't doubt that Hussein was an evil, brutal dictator. But the story sounds too much like Iraqi troops removing Kuwati babies from their incubators and throwing them to the floor. However, the US Hitlerizes every world-leader it seeks to remove since, well, Hitler. I am confident that alot of what we heard in the run-up to our illegal and immoral invasion (and since) was propaganda, not real, meant to manufacture consent and thereafter to reinforce and amplify that consent despite the obvious truths that go against everything Bush.
