Saddam's Terror Camps!!!
Wow! This could be big. The Weekly Standard has an explosive story on Saddam Hussein's Terror Training Camps. Here's the opening paragraph to wet your appetite:
THE FORMER IRAQI REGIME OF Saddam Hussein trained thousands of radical Islamic terrorists from the region at camps in Iraq over the four years immediately preceding the U.S. invasion, according to documents and photographs recovered by the U.S. military in postwar Iraq. The existence and character of these documents has been confirmed to THE WEEKLY STANDARD by eleven U.S. government officials.
This will make a nice addition to my "Slap libs with..." section near the bottom of my right side bar, which also has these other links you might be interested in, if you've never read them:
Saddam funded terror
WMDs
Iraq - Al Qaeda Connections
Anyway, I can't talk much about this at the moment because I'm already running on empty and as I mentioned in the last post, I need some sleep... But I can link you to a couple blogs already covering this very well.
Rick Moran at Rightwing Nuthouse cracked me up with the sarcasm he used to introduce the story.
Of course, Michelle Malkin is all over it too. She has some interesting Kennedy and Kerry quotes that I won't expect the media to ask them about in light of these new findings.
“Iraq was not a breeding ground for terrorism. Our invasion has made it one.”
--Sen. Ted Kennedy"Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion."
--Sen. John Kerry
And like Michelle I won't hold my breath for the MSM to make this a front pager. I suspect a few outlets will mention it in passing, and that's about it.
Hopefully I'll have some updates when I wake up...

You mean all those denials from the Left about Saddam having any connections with Al-Q or other terror organizations, prior to the War on Terror, are proved to be BS? My, my, my. Nancy Pelosi is gonna have somebody's rear-end over this!
