Comments on: Cheney admits no evidence of 9/11-Iraq link http://www.hornes.org/mark/2009/06/01/cheney-admits-no-evidence-of-911-iraq-link/ The cyberstalkable freelance writer making retractions on the web since 2000....

It was al Qaida who were responsible for 9/11. They are the ones who planned, recruited and executed the plane hijackings. If Chenney could find a link to either, it would justify the invasion of Iraq (in most peoples minds). Try listening to the interviews with Lawrence Wilkerson which Mark linked <a href="http://www.hornes.org/mark/2009/05/24/two-interviews-with-lawrence-wilkerson/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

In the linked article, Cheney says "Cheney restated his claim that "there was a relationship between al Qaeda and Iraq that stretched back 10 years. It's not something I made up. ... We know for a fact that Saddam Hussein was a sponsor -- a state sponsor -- of terror. It's not my judgment. That was the judgment of our [intelligence community] and State Department." And the linked article says that Cheney condemned the 911 commission for denying an al-quaeda link to Saddam. a claimed al aquaeda link to saddam is not the same thing as a claim of a link between 9/11 and saddam. The article doesn't seem to be doing anything other than muddling things. I don't see the change that antiwar.com is claiming here. The distinction was made by cheney then and is being still made now. Mark, this isn’t new.
